What a great way to spend an afternoon! Alan and Dan were great hosts. The experience was very interesting and obviously the gin was superb ... don't be driving!
Brilliant experience at City of Aberdeen Distillery

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time at the City of Aberdeen Distillery Gin School — it was such a fun, hands-on, and genuinely memorable experience. Dan and Alan were brilliant hosts: friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They created a relaxed and welcoming environment while guiding us through the gin-making process with just the right balance of fun and detail. Lyla really enjoyed choosing all of her botanicals and crafting a flavour profile that was totally her own, while I was fascinated by the technical side of distilling and loved getting hands-on with the equipment — especially when it came to bottling our own creations! Lads, we will be back, very soon. We left with two completely unique gins, some new knowledge, and big smiles on our faces. Couldn’t recommend it more — it’s an ideal day out whether you’re a gin enthusiast or just looking for something a bit different to do in Aberdeen.
Superb gin experience!

A superb experience! Alan and David were fantastic hosts - entertaining, knowledgable and super friendly. You learn all about the gin making process, the history, ingredients etc. A hundred or more botanicals to sample and use in your own gin. You use your own little still, weigh your choice of botanicals and bottle and label your gin. There were lots of gin and tonics provided and samples of all the gins they make. Thoroughly recommend!
