Booked this tour as a gift for my husband, we had a great experience here, fantastic host (Edward) if I remember correctly, he really made the whole experience, his knowledge and humour was top notch!
Great tasting session and tour of a distillery

Really enjoyed it - very informative talk, and absolutely loved the tasting part of it :) I would have liked to have a look at what was inside the huge vats but appreciate this probably wouldn't have been very practical or safe! I'll definitely be recommending this again
Great, informative experience

Steven is obviously passionate about what he does and, as a result, was able to give a detailed account of the gin making process. We were able to sample several gins as the story was told which added to the experience. The gin and tonic to start and the 'pudding' (sloe gin) were an added bonus. Overall, we highly recommend this tour.
Great fun!

Our guide Sarah was excellent. Very knowledgeable and made it a fun experience. A welcome drink followed by a generous taste of the products made. Interesting to talk to one of the artisans working there too and watch the process in action.
Nice time

A new spirit!

Highly informative and well presented. This package is half a tasting event and half a tour of the distillery. (So, come by public transport! No driving!) The tasting was accompanied by a very knowledgeable and entertaining background talk and a sniffing of botanicals. Fantastic! The drinks we sampled are excellent. Vodka, gin, rye etc. The tour itself is not very long as it is a small place! But it was great to the see this equipment in use. The noise in the distillery room was a bit loud. But there was time for Q&A afterwards. There is, of course, a shop! Easy to get to by bus.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
