Sehr interessante Führung durch die junge Whisky & Gin Distellerie! Man hat unserem Guide, Neil, seine Begeisterung für die Herstellung von Whisky angemerkt. Top! Die Tour dauert ca. 1 Stunde und neben der Verkostung von Whisky & Gin gab es viele interessante Storys rund um die Geschichte des Whiskys, sowie die Besichtigung der einzelnen Anlagen.

We booked the 12:00 gin and whiskey tasting. I believe Jason (I think) was our “guide” and he educated us on what rules goes into making single malt whiskey and gin. Every knowledgeable and was very patient to answer all of our questions. From where they purchase the malt, vodka, juniper berries. Explaining new make as well which I didn’t know was a thing. Very interesting experience when we were in the cask room, showing us the difference from a sherry cask, bourbon cask, old vs new. Overall I would recommend this to any whiskey or gin enthusiast’s or just someone who like to try new things. I’m not a huge alcohol person but I quite enjoyed it as I saw similarities to cheese making and colognes (top notes, base notes and heart notes)

Yesterday we have had a tour with our guide James. He was very knowledgable and explained every step of the process of their gin- and whisky making in depth. I would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see a complete production process in a small but local new distillery rather than a quick global tour of one of the big brands. We really liked the fact that this distillery is not only making use of local products, but had also a great background story of why they started the site in Edinburgh city center and is l eager to excel/expand their process and to bring back whisky production to the city with a new twist. One of their gins won an award and we could clearly taste why. Unfortunately we couldn’t bring any bottles home. Wish them the best of luck with their distillery and we want to give another shout out to James. :) bless him
