This place is fantastic. The staff were all friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The distillery tour is great, and you get to taste whisky, vodka, and gin at the end. The shop has a great selection of spirits and is very well-kept. The bistro on site is a bit pricey for what you get - I found my beef sandwich to be a bit lacking for £13.50. However, the whisky tour was the highlight for me, with plenty of on-site parking and a beautiful setting. Kudos to the staff and owners for creating such a great experience. Well done!

Excellent tour of the distillery, and a wonderful presentation on the history of the site, as well as a film showing the source of the water used, and then on to a lovely tasting session. The whole experience was wrapped up with care and attention, as seen in all the details throughout the tour and the buildings themselves. A great place to visit and enjoy lunch too!

We had a great tour of the distillery with Sonia as our guide. She provided us with detailed answers and was very accommodating to our stag do group. Thank you Sonia for a fantastic experience and for giving our group leader a personally hand-written certificate!

We were the only 2 on the tour but still made to feel valued. The tour was very informative with excellent taste testing, as 1 of us was drinking samples were made to take away.

Excellent tour of the distillery with some very enjoyable tastings followed by a great meal in the superb Bistro. Definitely a good choice of a day out on a rainy day.

The distillery tour offers a captivating look behind the scenes of a contemporary distillery. Our guide provided informative details on the process of making whiskey.

Good selection of local gin and whisky distilled on the premises. You can sample and choose, and I bought a bottle of The One sherry cask whisky. Lovely!

Right next door to Gusto on Colmore Row, this place seems actually quite unassuming, yet on a Friday after work it is hard to fight through the small
