Glenkinchie was a little-known Lowland distillery in Diageo forerunner United Distillers & Vintners’ portfolio until 1987 when it was picked as the Lowland representative in the company’s Classic Malts range of regional single malt whiskies. 

Over 30 years later, Glenkinchie is a familiar presence in supermarkets and bars - although some malt fans quibbled Glenkinchie’s selection as the distillery does not practise triple-distillation in the traditional Lowland style. Others have never forgiven Glenkinchie for being picked for the Classic Malts ahead of Rosebank, hastening the latter’s demise.

Aside from distillery-only single casks and the standard 12-year-old and Distillers Edition bottlings, official Glenkinchies are rare, with only a handful of long-aged Glenkinchies released this century. Glenkinchie’s importance to the Johnnie Walker blend means that independent bottlings are practically non-existent.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
