Excellent tour and fascinating facts about the making of the alcohol and the gin flavourings - well worth a visit - lunch is interesting as you choose your own from a deli fridge and they cut up the bread for a picnic at the tables!

We booked a distillery tour and a table for lunch well in advance of our visit with the owner who was extremely helpful. The tour was excellently run with all social distancing arrangements carefully monitored throughout. The distillery has been completely rebuilt and is great to see older and traditional methods of whisky production now back in place. Lunch was excellent - although a reduced menu from the usual owing to the Covid-19 crisis - that said everything was freshly prepared and delicious and the cafe/coffee shop a pleasure to eat in. We were also able to take our dog who loved it too. All in all an excellent visit and exceptional facilities during the current situation. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I could have written the last review. This is certainly the best local produce market in Dumfries & Galloway. My highlights are: Great corn bread from Little‘s bakery Great Scotch Pies and Hogget from Annanwater Great Highland beef from Barlochan Lovely cakes from Annie’s Excellent chutneys from Kate Kirkpatrick. I could go on but go and visit and taste for yourself.
