Amazing! - Absolutely amazing!! Molly was fantastic and so knowledgable. Graf afternoon out with so many flabours! Couldn’t recommend any more!

What a find! - My partner and I visited Spirit of Wales Distillery for a Make Your Own tour today, and it was fantastic! We had a drink on arrival and then started the gin-making process with expert guidance. As our still did its' work, we toured the rest of the unit and sampled some of the fabulous tipples made there. We got to take home our unique gin, along with an additional purchase of the Dark Cherry Rum Liquor, which is absolutely delicious. Learned loads, drank a bit, had a fantastic time. THANKS SO MUCH, Spirit of Wales!

Newport Business Deserves Your Interest and Time - Bought for us by friends as a birthday gift we had not heard of the distillery before. Having done many big brand tours previously (Guinness, Remy, Heineken, Jamesons and even local Brecon's Penderyn...) this is a very small scale on comparison but does it's best with some great sampling and passionate chat. Less of a tour and more of a warehouse single room lecture, you get educated on the process of making a range of spirits whilst encouraging questions all of which were answered well, showing the knowledge and unscripted passion for what this business does. Several generous samples to taste and with a drink before and after, definitely book a taxi! Small scale but something for Newport to get behind and be proud of. We will recommend it

Well worth going. - Came by as I had heard there was a distillery in this part of Newport and I am a big fan of vodka, also had family visiting so it was a good afternoon out. This was a great tour, the tasting room is lovely and Ben who was our guide was excellent. I asked a lot of annoying questions but he was very patient and knowledgeable and I found it very useful to be able to ask questions to a professional bartender. The tour is very easy to understand and very informative and its a great looking distillery too. We went through how they produce Gin and vodka and their other spirits and there was an opportunity to buy from the distillery afterwards, I bought a bottle of the smoked vodka and an absinthe which are both excellent. Well worth going.

Amazing Experience - It was a great experience learning the science around producing award winning spirits. Alan, our tour guide, has a wealth of knowledge concerning his trade and explains every step of the process. We had a lot of fun creating our own flavoured rum and getting to bring it home. Ben, our mixologist, was excellent in suggesting mixers to suit individual palettes and knows everything there is to know about mixing drinks. I would highly recommend this experience but don't drive there!

Enjoyable Spirit Tasting with Welsh flair - Very enjoyable experience to see how the various spirits are made followed by a tasting. Ben, our guide, was very entertaining and you could feel his passion for the product. Enjoyable afternoon.

Fantastic Evening - What a great night! I got to taste a load of different spirits & coctails & learned a little about how to make them & what flavour combinations make for a good cocktail. Ben is such a knowledgeable mixologist that i could listen to him talk for hours. Great distillery tour from Alan, learning about the process of producing a great drink. Will definitely book again !

The spirit of Newport is The Spirit of Wales - What a fascinating and informative tour from Ben. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. What a little gem!

Not was we was expecting, unfortunately! - I have thought twice about writing this review, because I feel terrible for the poor lady that was working yesterday - she, herself was lovely and done all that she could. Our first experience was cancelled a few days prior because of a staffing issue - which was fine. We booked a new date, no problem. Except it seemed there was a staffing issue on the day too. I dont think the lady mentioned her name but she was left on her own to deal with quite a few people arriving for the tour and for the rum making experience (which is what we had done). There was no clean glasses available for welcome drinks and there was no mixers for the drinks available. Then we where kind of just left to it, we had to ask her over to help once or twice as nothing was explained to us on getting everything up and running. (We felt terrible for asking - because she was on her own dealing with so many people). Once sorted, everything was fine. The tour was a warehouse, with a little wooden bar and 2 distillers (that I could see - from where I was stood) the lady had to read from a script and I suppose I would have her to have abit of knowledge but it seemed not. The tasting was half a shot glass, half of the bottles at the prop up bar was empty and she had to look for more within the warehouse. The tour was such a let down I have to be honest. We then went back to our stil's and finished off making our rum (which is absolutely disgusting - but that's our fault not theirs haha). The only way I can describe it, is as total unorganised chaos and its not cheap either, along with the experience I had to sort and pay for lifts and a sitter etc for our very rare date day. I'm sat feeling like a should have put that money elsewhere as I just feel we unfortunately didn't get the experience some of the great reviewers have had and because of that, I wouldnt recommend this experience for friends.

Not a great experience - We arrived Friday 25th August straight away there were 2 girls operating the tour. Not very friendly and was more interested than talking between themselves. In the actual distillery the tasting was really rushed and the one girl was reading a script off her phone about the distilling process, not really knowing what she was talking about. I thought that we would be making our own cocktail but was programmed into making two that was standard and not our choice. I have been to many cocktail and whisky experience and bar far this was the worse one that I have been to The two girls showed no passion for their job. All I can say is the price of the tour covered our couple of cocktails. I think a review into mixologist is needed and a greater knowledge of the product that they are selling Not very interesting evening
