We had an absolutely fantastic time distilling our own gin. The team were so knowledgable and guided us through the process - with lots of G+Ts along the way! Cocktail making was great fun, with an added twist ;) I really enjoyed selecting my own botanicals to make a completely bespoke gin. Would 100% recommend this - it's worth every penny for a gin-lover.
