5.00The only one who had booked a tasting tour was me..Neal's energy was immediately very positive. He came to me, complimented my outfit and started the tasting session early. What a beautiful place and an interesting tasting! Neal talked a lot about the history and producing Gin. I was allowed to ask all my questions and made the process, and the name, super clear. Thanks so much Neal🙏 it All makes sense now!
Great experience.

5.00Great experience. Different from previous gin tours. Neil (not Nigel) was great at keeping attention and entertaining the audience. Would recommend to others looking for something different.
A fun way to spend your afternoon!

5.00We had the absolute BEST time with James!! We all learned so much about gin! Not just the distilling process, but what makes a gin a true “dry” gin, and what doesn’t. The tasting was fantastic. James was fun, engaging, and such a great host! If you love gin (or honestly even if you dont…my husband isn’t a gin fan and he loved this experience) I wholeheartedly recommend this experience
Great tasting👍
