Von Edinburgh: Glenkinchie Distillery & Whisky Experience
Beschreibung
Unser Abenteuer beginnt am 22 St Andrew Square in Edinburgh (EH2 1AY), wo wir zur Glenkinchie Distillery aufbrechen. Lassen Sie die Stadt hinter sich, verwandelt sich die Landschaft in East Lothians sanfte grüne Hügel und Ackerland. Diese malerische Region südöstlich von Edinburgh ist bekannt für ihre malerischen Dörfer und die friedliche Landschaft, die einen ruhigen Rückzugsort bietet. Glenkinchie, in dieser idyllischen Gegend namens "Garden of Scotland", verfügt über üppiges Ackerland, das perfekt für den Anbau von Gerste ist, einer wichtigen Whiskyzutat. Die Brennerei besticht durch historische Gebäude, angelegte Gärten und eine ruhige Atmosphäre, die ihr reiches Erbe widerspiegelt. Auf der Flavour Journey Tour & Tasting teilen Glenkinchies erfahrene Guides Einblicke in die Whiskyherstellung und spannende Geschichten über die Geschichte und Handwerkskunst der Brennerei. Der Besuch beinhaltet Zeit, den Laden zu erkunden, Mittagessen zu genießen oder weitere Getränke zu probieren, bevor Sie zurück nach Edinburgh fahren, um ein unvergessliches Erlebnis zu gewährleisten

Our driver/tour guide Moray gave amazing topical information from start to finish and played amazing music throughout. Would highly recommend booking a tour with them and great value of knowledge all day Thank you!

The best Whisky experience of my life started from the moment we were picked up at the meeting point. Upon entering the place, the green and fresh aromas of nature fully immersed us in the experience. The hosts were all very friendly and warm, watching over us at all times. The tour started with a bell ring and John (JJ) was excellent at telling us the great story behind this iconic brand. Our happiness was complete. Thank you so much for making us feel special and for allowing us to explore and exceed our expectations.

This was our first tour with Highland Experience tours and it was amazing. Very helpful lady’s at the desk and our tour guide Graham was also very kind and friendly. At the distillery we had the flavour and cask tour and it was absolutely fantastic. Would really recommend this tour. Thankyou Graham and Highland experience! See you next time.

How much more Scottish can you get?! Had a wonderful time with our very knowledgeable tour guide Josh who had great stories and facts about Scotland. He was very open to further questions and help make the experience as great as it was. Our tour only took up a fraction of the bus which made it very personable. Josh commented that it was not usually like that, so we were lucky. Note that the distillery might not be the best place to buy scotch. Do some research between the in town shops, grocery stores, and duty free to know what you can get and for how much. Overall great way to experience a lot of Scotland in a single day. Would recommend!
