Glenkinchie Distillery

Notes

One of the original classic malts
Open coal fired stills until 1960
When Glenkinchie was founded, there were 115 active distilleries in the Lowlands - there are now only 5 left
One of the largest wash stills in the industry
Cut point on the spirit run is unusually high (65%), which leads to a very light spirit
Of the 3 dunnage warehouses on site, one has three floors - this is very unusual
