    This is a distillery that does a gin tasting, with an explanation of each sample. ( there is no food). I have done it a few times now and enjoy the explanations of each drink and suggested fruits or mixers to enhance each taste that is always good. The staff are proud of the product , which also enhances the visit

    We did a gin tasting and it was great - well explained, clear visual aids with each gin and having the herbs to smell and taste gave great context. The ambiance is authentic as you are literally in the room where they make gin, and that’s actually more interesting than a finished room. The girls who helped us were amazing - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and went out of their way to make our experience interesting. The next table was doing cocktail making, and that also looked fun, but for now the gin tasting was well worth the time and effort.

    Our first gin tasting, so was a little unsure what to expect! Jackson was our host for the afternoon and we thought he was tremendous - super nice guy who clearly knew the what’s what and who’s who of gins - he made the afternoon very enjoyable with his expertise and happy vibe, really easy to talk to. It was great learning and appreciating the gins you were trying through his recommendations and advice, really amped up the experience as a whole. While I’m not a fan of the taste of gin, my partner loves it and we both had a great time giving things a go and revelling in the experience and variety the distillery provided. A genuine tip-top time, we’ll definitely be back for more!
