Glenkinchie
About GlenkinchieThe home of 'The Edinburgh Malt' is located in the rolling farmland of East Lothian in the village of Pentcaitland on the River Tyne. From the rich agricultural countryside of East Lothian comes Glenkinchie, the Classic Malt of the Lowlands. East Lothian was the birthplace of the 18th century agricultural revolution in Scotland which was to change the landscape in order to provide better feed for livestock and produce for markets in neighbouring towns and cities The golden barley was destined for another market too. By 1837 local farmers, John and George Rate had become the first recorded licence holders of Glenkinchie Distillery, malting the barley grown in their adjoining fields and mashing it in pure water from springs in the Lammermuir hills to produce one of Scotlands Classic Malt whiskies.
