Gin tasting. - We had an awesome time with Conor at the Holyrood Distillery Gin Tour. We were the first group to experience the new revised tour and it was a blast! We had people from Norway, Spain and Michigan. We all enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend the tour to everyone. Thank you Conor for a great experience.

Gin Tastic - Absolutely Fantastic Gin and cocktail making experience. Our guide for the evening was Broy, who is very passionate and super knowledgeable about not only the Gin ( Flight of Arrows ) that is produced at Hollyrood Distilary but also about the history of Gin itself. In general, we found all the staff or should I say team because to be Frank, they all seem to be of the same mindset as Broy, friendly and passionate about what they do and it come through in bucket loads. So if there is only one experience you can manage whilst visiting Edinburgh, let it be Hollyrood Distilary because we shall be back to sample the Whisky, if its anything like their Gin experience it will be special.

Great tour and drinks - Small distillery, we were in a tour of 9. Our host, Conor, was knowledgable and kept the tour interesting. We learned about the distillery and the history - but of course this is all about the drinking. Each made a ‘clover club’ cocktail under his guidance and tried generous measures of the other gins that they make. Well worth a visit. We are local so will try the whisky version at some point.

Highly recommend - We are visiting Scotland for the first time. I’m not a whisky drinker, but heard Scotland is also known for their gin. We found this Gin Tasting Experience and it was one of the highlights of our time in Edinburgh. Dougal was our guide who taught us the history of gin and led us through tasting and making drinks. He was humorous, fun, and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend this tour. And for whisky lovers (their main business), they have other tours and tastings you can book.
