Vanuit Edinburgh: Glenkinchie distilleerderij & whisky-ervaring
Beschrijving
Ons avontuur begint op 22 St Andrew Square in Edinburgh (EH2 1AY), waar we vertrekken naar Glenkinchie Distillery. De stad achterlatend, transformeert het landschap in de glooiende groene heuvels en landbouwgrond van East Lothian. Deze pittoreske regio, ten zuidoosten van Edinburgh, staat bekend om zijn schilderachtige dorpjes en rustige platteland, en biedt een rustige ontsnapping. Glenkinchie, gelegen in dit idyllische gebied genaamd de "Garden of Scotland," beschikt over weelderige landbouwgrond perfect voor de teelt van gerst, een belangrijk whisky-ingrediënt. De distilleerderij beschikt over historische gebouwen, aangelegde tuinen en een serene sfeer die het rijke erfgoed weerspiegelt. Tijdens de Flavour Journey Tour & Tasting delen de deskundige gidsen van Glenkinchie inzichten en boeiende verhalen over de geschiedenis en het vakmanschap van de distilleerderij. Het bezoek is inclusief tijd om de winkel te verkennen, te lunchen of meer drankjes te proeven voordat u teruggaat naar Edinburgh, wat zorgt voor een onvergetelijke ervaring

Reisroute
St Andrew Square in Edinburgh is een centrale en gemakkelijk bereikbare locatie. Het is een bruisend en historisch plein gelegen in het hart van de nieuwe binnenstad van Edinburgh. Het plein beschikt over een grote open tuin, met het torenhoge Melville Monument in het midden, een prominente mijlpaal die het gemakkelijk maakt om te identificeren
Glenkinchie Distillery is een gerenommeerde Schotse whiskydistilleerderij in East Lothian, Schotland, ongeveer 25 mijl ten zuidoosten van Edinburgh. Het is één van de zes distilleerderijen die geclassificeerd zijn als producent van Lowland single malt Schotse whisky, bekend om zijn lichte, bloemige en delicate smaakprofiel. Geniet van een meeslepende 90 minuten durende ervaring door de geschiedenis, het landschap en het traditionele veld-tot-glas whiskymaakproces van de distilleerderij, ontworpen om al uw zintuigen te prikkelen. Het culmineert in een begeleide proeverij van drie kenmerkende drams en een kleine cocktail in het proeflokaal, ter ere van het delicate Lowland-karakter van zijn whisky.

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!
