A hugely enjoyable experience

An excellent tour. Our guide, Bhagya was one of the owners and she was entertaining and knowledgeable about the gin and the gin- making process. She involved everybody in the tour and her enthusiasm contributed to a very enjoyable experience. I’d highly recommend the tour to anyone with an interest in spirit making or simply an interest in the City.

Absolutely worth a visit!

The tour was fantastic. Bhagya was informative, engaging and fun. You can see the effort she and Robert have put into the distillery. The gin is exzellent. We also enjoyed the vodka and absinth. Loved the decor. I’d highly recommend a visit and hope to do another of the tours when next in Cork.

It was a lot of fun. Very...

It was a lot of fun. Very intimate because it's it's a husband or wife operation which they're trying to expand. We learned a lot about the process of making gin which was new to me.

Operator response

Thank you so much! We are delighted you enjoyed the personal experience and learning about how our gin is made.

A hidden gem in Cork!

One of Cork’s hidden gems! A group of 8 had such a wonderful time at the cocktail masterclass. Bhagya and Ben made the experience so much fun from start to finish. With plenty of tastings of the Maharani produce throughout aswel as a tour of the distillery itself. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be returning!

Operator response

Thank you so much! We are delighted you all enjoyed the cocktail masterclass, tastings and distillery tour, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

Definitely worth a visit if you're in Cork.

A brilliant experience at Rebel City Distillery. The tour was relaxed, informative and really enjoyable, and Bhagya was so friendly and knowledgeable. The spirits were excellent too. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Cork.

East meets West in a wonderfully delicious tasting!

Great tour of the distillery by one of the founders! Our tour was led by Bhagya, wife and co-founder of the company. Bhagya in her own witty ways gave us good insight into the key components, sourcing, and distillery process of their wonderful Maharani Gin, Vodka, and Absinthe. She makes the ingredients of the flavors come alive throughout the tasting of their products. In addition she told us all about the challenges of starting a business while the entire world was forced to shut down. This is a tour you do not want to miss!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us! We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour with Bhagya and that you got to hear the story behind Maharani Spirits and our journey. It means a lot to us that you appreciated both the products and the experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Fun Afternoon

We visited for a tour on Friday, 29th May, 3 friends visiting Cork for the weekend. We had a fantastic time at Rebel City Distillery. The gin tasting experience was really personalised and made so much fun by the host, who was friendly, engaging, and full of energy throughout. It felt much more interactive and personal than a typical distillery tour, and you could really see the passion behind what they do. We had such a great laugh while also learning about the gin-making process and tasting some amazing spirits. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cork — a brilliant way to spend an afternoon. We visited Blackrock Castle restaurant the next day for dinner and Maharani gin was on the menu. We look forward to your gin being available on Tesco in the future.

Operator response

Thanks for your review, glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour and you found our gin at Blackrock Castle restaurant. Hope to see you again!
