Edinburgh Distillery: Classic Tour & Tasting Experience

About this experience

Edinburgh Distillery Classic Tour and Tasting Experience This ticket admits you to a 65-minute guided tour of The Edinburgh Gin Distillery at The Arches, where an expert guide leads you through the craft of Scottish gin production. The tour moves from the Flavour Arch, where botanical selection is explained, through to the Still Room, where copper stills illustrate both traditional methods and modern distilling techniques. As part of the guided experience, the host serves a tasting of carefully selected gins, each presented with specific mixers and garnishes to highlight their individual flavour profiles. Groups are limited to a maximum of 12 guests, allowing for personalised attention and plenty of opportunity to ask questions about ingredients and production. The intimate setting makes this one of Edinburgh's most engaging whisky and spirits experiences.
