About this tour
Work alongside Aberdeen's Head Distiller to create a bespoke 70cl bottle of Scottish gin over two and a half hours. Select from over 100 botanicals—including Macedonian juniper and exotic flavours from across the globe—to build your own recipe, then decide the final strength before bottling. You'll taste small-batch gins throughout, christen your creation, and finish with a celebratory cocktail as a newly qualified distiller.

What to expect
You'll start with a double gin and tonic, then meet the Head Distiller who guides you through building a traditional gin base using premium organic alcohol. The core part involves browsing and selecting botanicals—each choice shapes your gin's flavour profile. You'll see the distillation process firsthand, taste samples of finished gins, adjust the strength to your preference, and bottle it yourself. Expect hands-on engagement rather than passive observation. The session wraps with naming your creation and toasting your achievement with a surprise cocktail.
