Glenkinchie

In 1825, farmers John and George Rate built and operated the distillery under the name Milton Distillery until it was licenced and renamed in 1837.

Though it was transformed into a sawmill in 1853, the distillery eventually returned to its ‘natural state’ – and much-improved – state, becoming the redbrick Victorian masterpiece we know today.

The traditional floor maltings are closed, as with many malt whisky distilleries at the time, and Glenkinchie transforms its old floor maltings into a distillation museum.
