The stops in pictures

Glenkinchie sits in the farmland of East Lothian and makes a light, floral Lowland single malt. It’s one of the few Lowland distilleries still working, and its whisky goes into Johnnie Walker blends. In the afternoon, Johnnie Walker Princes Street shows how whiskies from across Scotland are blended, with a tasting matched to your taste and a rooftop bar looking out over the city.

The best part of a whisky tour by chauffeur: everyone can enjoy the tastings, and the car is waiting at the door when you finish.

Common questions

How long is the whisky tour from Edinburgh?

6 hours, for example 10am to 4pm, with a tour and tasting at Glenkinchie, lunch in Haddington and the Johnnie Walker experience on Princes Street.

How much is a private whisky tour from Edinburgh?

£760 for 6 hours in a Mercedes V-Class for up to 6, with fuel, parking, waiting and your chauffeur’s travel from Glasgow included. The price is per car, not per person.

Is the Johnnie Walker experience worth it?

For most visitors, yes, especially if you’re new to whisky. The Journey of Flavour tour takes about 90 minutes and matches the tasting to the flavours you like, and the rooftop bar looks out over Edinburgh. If you already know your whisky, pair it with a working distillery such as Glenkinchie, as this tour does, to see how single malt is made.

Which whisky region is Glenkinchie in?

The Lowlands. Lowland single malts are usually light, soft and floral, which makes Glenkinchie a good first distillery if you’re new to whisky.

Are the distillery tours included?

No. Book your Glenkinchie and Johnnie Walker tours directly. The price covers your car and chauffeur.
