Fantastic gin tasting experience!
Mar 2022
I recently attended a gin tasting experience, which was excellent. Jo was a fantastic host, vey friendly and personable and made everyone feel welcome. Jo explained the different 'levels' of gin tasting and gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The distillery tour was fascinating, especially the section on the different botanicals used, and it was great to learn how the business had grown from one still to producing a wide variety of gins - and from the sample we tasted, they are all delicious! I would highly recommend the gin tasting experience to anyone who is a fan of gin or would like to learn more about the gin making process.

We did gin tasting with Jo and we would highly recommend.
Jo was so knowledgeable and passionate- we really enjoyed learning about gin and tasting it.
We are now wanting to go back to make our own gin in the near future.

Make your own gin!
Jan 2022 • Couples
Make Your Own Gin: great experience! Friendly guide, good explanation on the process and a wide range of botanicals to choose from. It's really fun working at your own still, (they're all named :) )...and you end up with a bottle of your own beautiful gin to take home!

Gin tasting
Oct 2020 • Couples
Went here for gin tasting in February 2020, such a good experience! We got to try a number of different gins and learn more about how the gin is made in the lab! Would definitely recommend - we also bought a bottle of the cucumber gin at the end as it was our favourite!!

Gin Lab Experience
Sep 2021 • Friends
We had a fantastic afternoon at the Gin Lab experience, we were guided to create our own Gin, choosing the ingredients and learning how to find the flavours that complimented each other to create a Gin that we would love. We were also taken on a tour of the distillery and given different samples to try. Jo was a brilliant guide who made it fun! Everyone was friendly and at the end we were given the chance to enjoy our homemade G&T. It was a great experience.

Fabulous evening of Gin tasting
Aug 2021
The gin tasting experience was bought for me 2 years ago but with Covid restrictions constantly hampering our efforts to go we finally attended last week. Kate our hostess was fabulous, warm and welcoming and very knowledgable. Plenty of Gin tasting happening and with a tour of the distillery too it more than met our expectations. We cannot wait to return in the autumn to taste some of your winter gins and would not hesitate to recommend your distillery to others.
