Glenkinchie was originally known as Milton and was founded in 1825 in the outlying farmland around Edinburgh. It was renamed in 1837 and languished in obscurity for over 150 years before becoming an international brand almost overnight at the end of the 1980s.
Prior to this time, the distillery’s main claims to fame were as one of the five original Lowland distillers to found Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd (later DCL, later UDV aka Diageo).
It’s other claim to fame is that Glenkinchie was one of only a handful of distilleries to continue production throughout the Second World War.
The majority of its output has always gone to blends, principally Haig’s, Dimple and Dewar’s. Even today only 10% of its 1.6m litres of alcohol per year production is reserved for bottling as single malt.
