5.00We learned a lot about the history and production process of gin, as well as the history of this brewery. The tour was presented in a fun and light-hearted way, and the gins were delicious! The 90 minutes flew by. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in gin, or spirits in general.
A must in Edinburgh
