A great day out in Aberdeen - Visited the distillery yesterday. We had a great time. Both Alan and Dan were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their gin and local history. I was driving so I got a lemonade but was given a miniature in stead of the welcoming drink.
The selection of gins was great and we were told how they make it.
Thanks Alan and Dan for a great time

Great distillery tour - My husband and I visited as part of a guided tour around the Aberdeen area; this was one of our stops. We had a great time! Alan and Dan were great hosts, we learned about their journey to build the business and tasted some amazing gin that they had created. My favorite was Thyme for Rosemary and my husband’s was the bramble gin. They do a great job engaging the group, answering questions and creating understanding around creating craft gin. Highly recommend and would definitely go back and visit them again.
