Inspiring gin tour
The tour with Andre was great and very informative. The tour was well structured and the tastings now and then brought a smile to the faces of the participants. The tasting was brilliant. Andre, thank you very much for the tour!

Definitely do it!
We had an interesting and relaxing evening! We learned a lot of new things that will enrich our gin evenings at home 😉. Andre was our host and led us through the evening with a lot of knowledge, energy, and humor!

Very Informative
Loved the Edinburgh Gin Distillery Tour! Very informative and lots of fun. Our guide Lucy was great and we even got to talk to the head distiller as he was creating some new things. Would highly recommend. You don’t need to love gin to enjoy this tour!

Gin tasting
This tasting was well organized, educational, and well worth the price. My friend and I enjoyed this tour.
C
Gin fanatic or not this, tour is great.
As someone who doesn't consume alcohol very often i really enjoyed every bit of this short tour. Our guide sam was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, but also made the amount of information he conveyed palatable for someone nowhere near as well versed in the world of gin as he was. Highly recommend to all gin enjoyers, and even those who don't regularly partake in alcohol.

Gin taster tour
Loved the new premises. The classic tasting tour included a G&T on arrival, a liqueur on the way round and 5 tasters. Lucy our guide was knowledgable and interesting. Would recommend a tour if you are interested in gin making
