Interesting Gin Tour - Met by barman who was also the Tour guide. We did the distillery tasting and thoroughly enjoyed it. We have done many similar tours, which is one reason we enjoyed this one because it didn't concentrate so much on the stills and production, which can be repetitive. Instead, this one included lots of other interesting storylines. The 90 minutes went very quickly and was a full of story's and good information. It touched on how the bar got through Covid and with this still a pertinent issue was good to hear and really, they made a good job of it all. Gin is lovely, too, and nice flavours. Recommend
