Brilliant experience - Highly recommend - We arrived at the Distillery and got a very warm welcome from Dan. We also got a delicious double gin and tonic. For those who were driving, there was non alcoholic refreshments. A verbal tour of historical Aberdeen distilleries then a look through the premises and a lesson on how gin is made. All the while made incredibly interesting by Alan whose knowledge is simply awesome! Then a taste of all the different gins. My goodness me. What's not to love? A wonderful stock of great items to take home or to use as gifts at very reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommend.

Enjoyable Late Date! - Hello I was your " Lost & Late" arrival for your Sunday. Sept. 15th class. Again sorry and I'm still lmpressed with your kind Welcome. You made me feel so very important and happy! I so did enjoy your presentation. I so do wish you best regards and accolades in your business! You guys Got It! Great intro to the possibilities of GIN. Your shop and Haddo House ( where I was born ) were the only 2 scheduled visits on my agenda for Aberdeen. Thanks again for your time and considerate "kind" welcome, Sandy Bober., Pittsburgh, PA., USA

Gin cheers - Received this voucher as a birthday present and it turned out to be one of the best. From the time we arrived the whole experience was well structured and enjoyable. Generous quantities of gin starting with a double and that was before 11 o'clock. Vast selection of gins and the other tours provide different experiences. Sensible to take a taxi or public transport although the latter is not easy getting to the venue

A great day out in Aberdeen - Visited the distillery yesterday. We had a great time. Both Alan and Dan were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their gin and local history. I was driving so I got a lemonade but was given a miniature in stead of the welcoming drink. The selection of gins was great and we were told how they make it. Thanks Alan and Dan for a great time

Great distillery tour - My husband and I visited as part of a guided tour around the Aberdeen area; this was one of our stops. We had a great time! Alan and Dan were great hosts, we learned about their journey to build the business and tasted some amazing gin that they had created. My favorite was Thyme for Rosemary and my husband’s was the bramble gin. They do a great job engaging the group, answering questions and creating understanding around creating craft gin. Highly recommend and would definitely go back and visit them again.
