5.00You don’t have to be a gin drinker to enjoy this visit. Our tour guide Blair was very knowledgeable about gin in general but also specific about Edinburgh gins and liquors. About 60-80 mins in duration but never feeling rushed. Highly recommend it

5.00This is a new distillery, so the history doesn’t take long to cover, which allows you plenty of time to enjoy the gin itself and learn how Edinburgh Gin has crafted a large variety of uniquely flavored gins, how a simple garnish can change the flavor, and how the mixer can round out your cocktail. The tour itself starts with a classic gin and tonic, which you can enjoy as you learn about what makes gin gin and some of the ingredients Edinburgh uses. Then you get to see the distillery and make your way to the tasting room. We had a lovely time trying the 3 gins, various mixers, and garnishes as well the liqueurs. James was our guide and you could tell that he loved the brand and sharing that with others. The gift shop is small but well stocked. Be sure to stop for additional samples of anything that catches your eye. You can also go to the roof for another drink and nibbles.
