What To Expect
Become a Distiller and create your very own Scottish Gin in this 2 hour experience! Starting with a double G&T welcome drink, learn about key gin botanicals and the premium organic alcohol. Following on from a short introduction to the botanicals available, choose from over 100 botanicals and distil your perfect bottle of gin using a beautiful copper alembic mini-still.
The group is led by the Head Distiller who is on hand to help you select the ideal botanicals and quantities for your unique gin recipe.
While you wait for your gin to distil, enjoy samples from the range of Aberdeen Gins. You'll be introduced to the background of each gin as well as the ingredients used - find out how each gin is unique and how they are authentically distilled in Aberdeen. Sip a G&T made to order based on your preferred sample.
Finally, decide the strength, bottle, cap and label your own full sized 70cl bottle of gin - you’ll need a name for it too!
