Absolutely amazing tour from Alice. I've done many many tours and worked in the industry and the tour was perfect! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the renovation and getting to see the new distillery - the film at the beginning was really cool. Great amount of drinks - 6 in total. Overall highly highly recommend.
A great wee tour

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The gin tasting was fantastic and I loved learning about the craftsmanship and ingredients that go into making gin. Our tour guide, Gregor, was exceptional—his knowledge of the company and all things gin was outstanding. He answered every question in detail, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. It’s a brilliant way to spend some time and learn a little more about Edinburgh. Highly recommend!
Great tour & even better Gin

Gregor was a great guide for our group on this tour, he made it a very fun and informative experience, and he clearly has a passion for his job and the gin at the distillery. We enjoyed everything we tasted and loved getting to enjoy a cocktail at the beautiful bar afterwards. Highly recommend this tour!
Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed learning the process of making gin and Gregor was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He made the experience more enjoyable. The gin tasting was very nice too even though I don’t class myself as a big fan of different gins. Would recommend to all that like gin and even those who aren’t convinced yet.
Highly recommend, don't drive

Edinburgh gin has a spectacular building. The welcome is so friendly. Our tour guide Andre was fantastic, enthusiastic, informative and great fun. And of course plenty of gin. There is also a public bar, with again great staff and delicious cocktails. I recommend the pear one from the Christmas menu, delicious. All in all I would highly recommend a visit, great fun, great value and great gin. P.S. don't drive.
Gin experience you won't regret

Ola ( sorry if that’s spelt wrong ) was our guide for this tour. She was very knowledgeable and informative even though we were the only two on the tour. The distillery is an amazing place and is absolutely spotlessly clean. The selection of gins & chocolate we tried worked great together. We stayed in the distillery after the tour for a few hours drinking the selection of gins they have. The elderflower & gooseberry gin was particularly good.
I want to do this again!

I honestly can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’re a gin lover, this is an absolute must! Andre was fantastic, knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly invested in making the whole experience enjoyable. He walked us through everything from the history of gin to how it’s crafted and bottled, and made it all feel really fun and engaging. The tastings were delicious, and overall I thought it was excellent value for money.
