Explore Lowlands Whisky

The Lowlands were always defined as being home to Scotland’s most delicate and approachable whisky styles, known for their light, floral, and grassy character.

But in recent years the region has been home to a wave of exciting new producers, from the barley-forward Lochlea, the cask-creatives at Glasgow Distillery, and InchDairnie’s take on Scottish rye whisky.

Glenkinchie – The Essence of Lowland Whisky

Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

Glenkinchie, sometimes called the ‘Edinburgh Malt’ due to its proximity to Scotland’s capital. With a history dating back to 1837, Glenkinchie embodies the traditional Lowland whisky style – smooth, refined, and bursting with fresh, floral complexity.

Glenkinchie 12 stands as a classic example of Lowland whisky. It benefits from a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques. The long fermentation and slow distillation in tall stills contribute to its gentle, approachable style. Aged in American oak casks, it’s a fine single malt to enjoy as an aperitif on a warm evening.
