5.00Neil was an expert and we had a lovely time! We learned so much about the process of making and drinking gin, as well as extra info about the gin industry (gindustry) and even a refining recipe to try at home! Would definitely recommend to folks both new and experienced to gin.

5.00Great gin tasting experience with Neil. Neil was entertaining, friendly and informative.; his passion for the subject shone through! A great insight into how gin is made in their mini distillery. We were the only two people booked in so any questions were answered and friendly entertaining conversations. Definitely worth a visit and I highly recommend. Thank you Neil
