A Must Do - Hatty our tour guide was witty, entertaining and informative. The tour was the perfect balance between providing in-depth information, but without dragging on. A large emphasis was put on tasting the various products and they were very generous. Those who were driving also got given a takeaway bag so that they didn't miss out. Carrot cake from the cafe was very tasty. The only thing to consider is, taxis from Shipston are scarce and infrequent so ensure you book them in advance.

Very interesting visit - A must for Whiskey and Gin lovers. Hattie our tour guide was friendly and very informative, it was good to hear how the company started , and to see the distilling process from start to finish. The tasting part of the tour was absolutely fabulous ,we were able to try several different flavours of our own choice and then the option to buy from the shop. For those who were driving not to be left out were given their tasters to take home to enjoy. The whole experience was pleasurable and obvious for all to see the passion that is put into it. Many thanks to Hattie & Alison.

Lovely place to visit - We sadly couldn’t get booked into the tour because they were fully booked. But we still went to see the shop, cafe and watch the video about the beginning of this wonderful place. Stella was so delightful, friendly and helpful and we sampled many of their gins and a whiskey. Cannot recommend this enough!

Superb...would ho again :) - Great trip...Best value for money, David was great and we felt we had much more than what we paid for. Private tour is already a must do for couples and small groups and when you have such a knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor it cannot go wrong. Car was spotless clean, David is very punctual and speaks 3 + languages....I strongly recommend this company, 5 stars.
