City of Aberdeen Distillery & Gin School
1h · Admission ticket included

With welcome drink in hand (double G&T), during this walking tour of the distillery you will learn all about Aberdeen's rich distilling heritage, how City of Aberdeen Distillery was established and uncover interesting facts about botanicals.

The Head Distiller will guide you around the restricted areas of the distillery and talk about how Aberdeen Gin is made. This also includes a Q&A session.

Enjoy samples of both London Dry and Fruit Gins from the range of small batch Scottish Gins - served directly from French glass demi-johns.

There is also an opportunity to browse the distillery shop - if you've liked the gins you've sampled, why not treat yourself to a bottle of Aberdeen Gin from the range or even take home a 5-miniature tasting box.

As the tour concludes, attendees are encouraged to explore the “botanical garden”.
