Really Loved South Loch - Learned a great deal about making incredible gins. Loved the tasting and now feel a lot more confident about experimentation with gins and mixing. Love the South Loch story.

South Loc Gin tour a must if you’re in Edinburgh - James was amazing as so informative. We had a great lunch before our tour/experience. James was so personable and we learned so much! The food was great and the gin was amazing! Highly recommend this experience.

Fantastic Birthday Treat - Got this experience for my 65th birthday, we were looked after by Marcus very well may I add. He was certainly very knowledgeable about the making/distilling process of gin and took us through all the details. We had a taster from the upstairs bar then 3 in the tasting room and finally one in the bar at the end. All gins were excellent, I still had my own preference. All in all we had a great experience and would recommend to everyone

Gin Tasting 56 North Distillery - I recently went on a gin tasting tour and had a great time with my sister and cousins on our girls trip! Thanks to Marcus for being so informative and making it really enjoyable. He shared a lot about gin and how it’s made, which was brilliant. The variety of South Loch gins was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about gin and try some great flavors which visiting Edinburgh.

Happy! - Bellissimo! The Owner takes care to tell every detail of the gin creation process. As soon as you arrive they welcome you with a gin and tonic, then there is the tasting of 3 gins and finally a final gin and tonic. No doubt you come out happy, indeed HAPPY as he says.
