Additional Information

Your experience has a focus on being an interactive, hands-on experience. This experience allows guests to take a deeper dive into our world of Gin - not only trying the neat spirit, but learning how to use it in other creative ways.

This experience is great for people who may have already been on a ‘gin’ tour and are looking for something a little different. While many other gin experiences from other distilleries teach people about the history of gin making, we prefer to focus on modern drinks trends and the exciting innovations of current Scottish gin production. In particular, learn more about our experimentation with Scottish Juniper.

  • Guests must be aged 18 and over

Highly recommend - We are visiting Scotland for the first time. I’m not a whisky drinker, but heard Scotland is also known for their gin. We found this Gin Tasting Experience and it was one of the highlights of our time in Edinburgh. Dougal was our guide who taught us the history of gin and led us through tasting and making drinks. He was humorous, fun, and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend this tour. And for whisky lovers (their main business), they have other tours and tastings you can book.
