Superb gin experience!

Published on Mar, 2025

A superb experience! Alan and David were fantastic hosts - entertaining, knowledgable and super friendly. You learn all about the gin making process, the history, ingredients etc. A hundred or more botanicals to sample and use in your own gin. You use your own little still, weigh your choice of botanicals and bottle and label your gin. There were lots of gin and tonics provided and samples of all the gins they make. Thoroughly recommend!

An Awesome Experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

We found ourselves in Aberdeen on a cold and rainy day so our plans to stroll around town were a bit foiled. We decided to check out the distillery and as luck would have it we stumbled in just before a gin making class was about to start. I was a little leery about the price but I’m glad that didn’t stop me - it was WELL worth it. Alan and Dan are personable, hospitable, funny and knowledgeable. The three hour class moved quickly and efficiently and it seemed like we were never not sipping some of their awesome gin. We got to pick out our own flavors for the gin we were to make, and then watch our little personal still create it. It was all lots of fun and we wound up leaving with our own bottles of gin. Thanks Alan and Dan for an awesome experience!

Gin Experience

We had an amazing time. We learned a great deal about gin from Allan and Don, and we even got to make our own gin from scratch with assistance from Allan and Don. They had over 100 botanicals from which to choose and the owners assisted with how flavors might mix. A great way to spend the day.
