Experience Overview:
Holyrood Distillery Gin Tasting ExperienceYour experience has a focus on being an interactive, hands-on experience. This experience allows guests to take a deeper dive into our world of Gin - not only trying the neat spirit, but learning how to use it in other creative ways.
This experience is great for people who may have already been on a 'gin' tour and are looking for something a little different. While many other gin experiences from other distilleries teach people about the history of gin making, we prefer to focus on modern drinks trends and the exciting innovations of current Scottish gin production. In particular, learn more about our experimentation with Scottish Juniper.
