Da Edimburgo: Glenkinchie Distillery & Whisky Experience
Descrizione
La nostra avventura inizia al 22 St Andrew Square di Edimburgo (EH2 1AY), dove partiamo per Glenkinchie Distillery. Lasciandosi la città alle spalle, il paesaggio si trasforma nelle dolci colline verdi dell'East Lothian e nei terreni agricoli. Questa pittoresca regione, a sud-est di Edimburgo, è nota per i suoi pittoreschi villaggi e la tranquilla campagna, che offre una fuga tranquilla. Glenkinchie, situato in questa zona idilliaca chiamata il "Giardino della Scozia", vanta lussureggianti terreni agricoli perfetti per la coltivazione dell'orzo, un ingrediente chiave del whisky. La distilleria presenta edifici storici, giardini paesaggistici e un'atmosfera serena che riflette il suo ricco patrimonio. Durante il Flavour Journey Tour & Tasting, le guide esperte di Glenkinchie condividono intuizioni sulla produzione del whisky e storie coinvolgenti sulla storia e l'artigianato della distilleria. La visita include tempo per esplorare il negozio, gustare il pranzo o assaggiare altre bevande prima di tornare a Edimburgo, garantendo un'esperienza indimenticabile

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.

Hi there, Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip and had a positive experience with your guide Graham. We look forward to seeing you on tour again soon! Kind regards, Terri Highland Experience Tours
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!
