Wonderful experience, amazing host! - I visited with a group of friends. I wasnt sure what to expect approaching from outside, but wow, what a warm welcome and fantastic experience when we got inside! Bhagya was a wonderful host and great story teller. I loved hearing about how they started up and the ethos behind the brand. The gin, vodka and Absinthe were delicious. The Absinthe in particular was unexpectedly tasty! I would highly recommend, it a great group activity and theres a wonderful food place just along the road too.

Spur of the Moment - A spur of the moment visit, they couldn't have been more accommodating, despite being in the middle of preparing for weekend events. Bhagya's enthusiasm was infectious, as we sampled gin, vodka, absinth and an experimental beer barrel infused gin . Later in the weekend we had a few more Maharani G&T's at the Corner House on Coburg St and bought a couple of bottles at the airport duty free on the way home. Difficult to think of a better way to spend an hour

Worth a visit !!!! - This was a fantastic afternoon, filled with fun, laughter and gin, hosted by the amazing Bhagya, who gave us an insightful knowledge into gin making and most impressively ‘there story’. Wish them all the success in the future and will definitely return when in Cork again.

Amazing Experience! - Myself and my family attended the tour for my Mum’s 60th. We had an amazing time. The host is super knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly, and made the entire experience something that exceeded all our expectations! Compared to previous distillery tours we have attended, this one blew it out the water. We are super glad we decided to include this on our family trip to Cork and we now all have bottles of Maharani to show for it!
