Pickerings Gin - Having been on the more familiar Gin Tours we came across the lesser known Pickerings Gin Tour which sounded really good and having visited today can confirm it was absolutely brilliant,our guide Eloi was so informative and knowledgeable about all aspects of the journey to produce the gin.If gin is your tipple I can highly recommend the tour you won’t be disappointed,there are four samples to taste and a G&T in the bar next door along with a sample to take home ,it was excellent value for money.

A Must-Do Gin Tour with an Amazing Guide - We had an absolutely delightful experience on the gin tour in Edinburgh! Our guide, Max, was nothing short of fantastic. He was charming, knowledgeable, and had a wonderful sense of humor that kept everyone engaged. Max didn’t just share the fascinating history of gin; he brought it to life with his storytelling and passion for the craft. The tour was informative and fun, with just the right mix of history and tasting. If you’re in Edinburgh, this tour is a must-do, and it’s a pleasure to support such a wonderful business. Highly recommended!
