Great tour - What a fantastic distillery and tour. The building doesn't look much from the outside, but it has great history and they have created an innovative and great space. Bhagya was a brilliant host for the tour and the gin is great too.

Stag Party - Decided to kick off a Stag party at the Rebel City Distillery. Really set the tone for our day after that, it was great craic. Bhagya was fantastic. She kept the tour interesting as well as fun (and the drinks were great too) . Cannot wait to see what they do in the future.

Brilliant experience 👏 - Wow what a place and what a tour! From start to finish this experience was brilliant, the spirits are amazing and the venue so good! Even managed to find a bottle of the gin in duty free to take home! Funny and engaging host who is clearly passionate about what they do there. A must visit if your in Cork and love gin! Hope it makes it to the UK market soon.

Phenomenal tour with a phenomenal guide - Rebel by name, rebel by nature! @rebelcitydistillery in Cork isn’t just making spirits—it’s making statements. Co-founder and master distiller Bhagya Barrett brings her Keralan roots into the mix, infusing bold flavours and a true sense of craft into every drop. From the spice-laden Maharani Gin to an insider’s look at their process, this place is pure passion in a bottle. Small batch, big character, and absolutely worth the trip. Drink different, drink daring! @gavowenswhiskey
