Excellent value for money. Excellent drinks. Really do recommend. - Decided to go on a whim and so glad we did. Our tour kicked off with a bit of Gin backstory, presented well by knowledgeable staff. Was interesting seeing the modern stills, so very different from the old copper versions we'd seen in Scottish Highlands. Such a different feel. Even though it's a modern operation the tour still managed to steep it in their own little bit of history. The tour finishes up with tasting session where we were able to sample 3 of their rather delectable products across their Gins and Rums, complete with expert commentary on production, tasting notes, and tips on how to serve. Even after all of that, we got to chose another drink out of the 3 we'd tried or take a chance on 2 others not yet sampled! We were so impressed that I think that we will be taking up one of their Gin School sessions as a Christmas present to ourselves. The idea of making our own gin to take home sounds like a fantastic time. We're already looking forward to going back!

Great day, Great Gin, Great hosts! - Great day, Great Gin, Great hosts! A very warm welcome from Claire and the rest of the staff at the Shakespeare Distillery, created a relaxed atmosphere whilst sharing their passion for gin when relating the distillation process and the different botanicals used - plus lots of laughs too." Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, enhanced the overall experience.

gin tasting - Great experience, Claire was really lovely and delivered the session amazingly. Claire was very professional and the mini video was a great touch to the experience. We were a group of 4, 2 men and 2 women and we all thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

Gin tour visit for my 70th. - We had an amazing tour. The guides were really informative and knowledgeable but kept it lighthearted to everyone’s amusement. It was well organised and took the right length of time.

Couple of hours well spent! - The tour was great. The history of gin at the start was really interesting as was learning the process of distilling the gin and rum. The tasting afterwards was really good with some top quality gin on offer. Would recommend if you are in the area.
