Starting with a double G&T welcome drink you'll uncover Aberdeen's rich distilling heritage and the origins of gin before going on to tour the restricted production areas to find out how Aberdeen Gins are made.

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.
