Great day out and learnt lots more than expected and could feel the passion throughout. Had a great time, some great cocktails and tasted amazing gins. Also met some great people on the tour which really rounded it off. Highly recommended and they even lovely cocktails for my wife who was driving.
Dave, Owen, and Fiona were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! I had a broken leg and they made sure I was able to sit for portions of the tour. Dave gave me some great book recommendations and the whiskey was delicious. I would highly recommend a visit!
Whiskey Discovery Experience at Shortcross. I had a fantastic tour of the distillery with David. From the moment, arrived at the distillery, greeted by Fiona. The knowledge, passion and experience. They are true artisans and produce not only a great tour, but also wonderful spirit! It was great to try some, from new make to whiskey straight from the barrel. Then a delightful flight to finish. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Miserable weather, was forgotten when entering the distillery. Warm, welcoming, friendly greeting from Fiona. Due to cancellations we were the only two taking the tour. David one of the owners was friendly talkative and very knowledgeable, on what is partly a hobby and a business. They are passionate about what they do and this shows in the quality of the processes and end product. David demonstrated the art of pouring the perfect gin. You will need to go as I am not divulging any secrets!! As part of the cost you have a bottle of gin each to which you add a label,write a message and then get to hot wax the seal. See pic of gold seal attached. We bought some more product along with a lemon drizzle gin. As we were going out for dinner that night we copied the pouring lesson and enjoyed a lovely G &T. Thanks, Fiona & David for a great day
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff at the distillery. However, felt the gin tour was quite short, and it would also have been nice to have been able to sample a couple more of their gins. Maybe this is something that could be considered for future tours. Enjoyed the G&T lesson at the end. Lovely shop onsite where I took advantage of the £5 off and purchased a bottle of Rosies Gin, having already had this before. I may have purchased more gins if other samples had been offered.
Fantastic tour experience- the staff were really friendly and we learned a lot about the gin making process. Great cocktails!
Had a wonderful tour today, tasting gin and cocktails. Craig did a great job attending the bar, serving food, providing the tour and all polished off with gin tasting! He was attentive and engaging. Would highly recommend this wonderful tour in beautiful surroundings. What a gem on our doorstep!
Attended the gin tasting experience with friends over the weekend. It was brilliant, Craig showed us around and was very knowledgeable and passionate about everything to do with the brand. Lovely afternoon out all round, would definitely recommend giving it a try.
We had such an enjoyable afternoon here with Craig who is an absolute gin and whiskey expert. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. We had a really interesting and informative tour through the distillery followed by a gin tasting, where we got to experience the true taste and aroma’s of the gin itself. A beautiful setup in a beautiful area. A really enjoyable time and you get your very own Shortcross glass. I’m looking forward to going back for a Tipsy Tea.
