Absolutely fantastic experience - Totally worth the visit. The owner is lovely and very animated and engaging. She gave a wonderful and passionate explanation of their history and production process. The story of this business is interesting and captivating and the products you will sample are top notch. You don’t have to be a big gin fan to appreciate this experience. I have a whole new understanding and appreciation for gin and distilling in general. There is a reason everyone is giving this small business 5 stars.

A Must-Do Experience in Cork: The Rebel City Distillery Tour - During our visit to Cork, we were lucky to discover and book the Rebel City Distillery Tour. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Bhagya, one of the owners, who also served as our guide and host. The tour was fantastic, providing a truly personal and engaging experience! Bhagya did an excellent job of guiding us through the distillery’s history and origins, offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the distillation, mixing, and bottling processes. We had the opportunity to sample a variety of their spirits, including Gin, Vodka, and Absinthe. Throughout the tour, Bhagya added an extra layer of fun with a friendly game for my girlfriend and me, where we were challenged to find different items or answer questions related to the distillery. The prize? An extra shot of their delightful Gin! It was clear that the owners are passionate about their craft, carefully selecting ingredients from local sources in India and the Cork area. Bhagya was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining, making the tour an unforgettable experience.

Great tour and tasting! - The very personable owner introduced us to the secrets of gin production. A sensory introduction to the ingredients used and the distillation. In addition to the fine gin, the in-house produced absinthe and vodka were also presented at the following tasting. Really highly recommended.

Great experience whilst visiting Cork - It was a pleasure to meet the lovely Bhagya. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, our first gin distillery experience and the superb maharani gin. We wish Bhagya and her husband Robert all the very best in their business venture and hope to be able to purchase Maharani in the north very soon.
