Founded in 1825 and renamed in 1837, the name came from the Kinchie Burn which runs through the glen. It derives its name from 'de Quincey' who originally owned the land and burn. Masterfully maneuvering a variety of traditional stills, Glenkinchie achieves its unique character and depth, for which it is recognized as the undisputed champion of the light Lowland style. Glenkinchie is just fifteen miles from the capital, earning it the title 'The Edinburgh Malt'
