    So glad we were able to book this "tour". It was so interesting to learn about the gin making process and to taste several of the examples. Ended up bringing home a bottle of my favorite!

    This was an awesome experience. My husband and I aren't gin people, but everyone made the afternoon super fun and I learned a lot! 100% worth it for an afternoon in Edinburgh! Great food to snack on afterwards!

    Gran orador
    Luciano_N, Sep 2022
    El catador que nos presentaba el proceso es muy amable y muy conversador. Sabe animar a la gente y conoce el proceso al pie de la letra. Fue una gran experiencia conocer el proceso de preparación del gin.
