A time was had! - Me and my friends had an amazing time at the Gin School this past Sunday! We were lucky to nab some Itison vouchers earlier on in year, but we would happily pay full price for the experience again (which I definitely plan to come back for the Rum School) Neil was an absolute character! He couldn’t have been more friendly, or knowledgeable. We actually went over time, as we were having that much fun. I can’t wait for this weekend, so I can try out my own gin! I also love that they keep a hold of your recipe, so if you fancied another bottle, they can make it up for you to collect at your leisure. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough! It’s something different to do in central Edinburgh.

Sip Antics!!! A don't miss... - 5/5! Absolutely delightful. Neil was absolutely fantastic (and handsome). I arrived as a very luke warm Gin fan and lifted as an enlightened enthusiast of Gin. This is a must see. Carve out some time on your itinerary when you holiday in Edinburgh.

You have to do this! - What an experience, Neil is an absolute legend! He explained the intricacies so well and still allowed individual interpretation. Would highly recommend this and the small size of the group just added to the fun!

Thank you Neil from SipAntics, for a wonderful evening. - This was a birthday gift from a friend to my husband, & from start to finish it was a fantastic experience. Our host for the night was Neil,& we could not have had a better host . Neil's knowledge of gins was exceptional, & talked us through the whole experience in a witty entertaining way. I have attended wine, gin, & whisky experiences, & this is by far the best.

Amazing experience - A wonderful experience! I received it as my girlfriend's birthday present and can summarise the experience as "wow". Neil was the perfect host and teacher, reflecting his passion for gin in his stories, anecdotes and fun facts. The best part was the creation of our bottle of gin. He guided us in choosing the ingredients and used his experience to balance them perfectly: the final result was a blast of flavour and aroma. Definitely recommended!

Great experience - We had a great time with Neil. We found out loads about the different types of gin, as well as plenty of tasting. His help on making our custom gin was excellent.
