Introduction

Aberdeen's Gin Distillery is the first distillery in Aberdeen for over 75 years and situated within a historic railway arch, in the heart of the city - close by to key transports links - car, train or bus.

Experiences and Activities

As trains rumble overhead, discover the best of Scottish Gin, take a tour of the distillery, enjoy a Gin Tasting Masterclass – or even distil your own full-sized (70cl) bottle of gin at the Gin School Experience. All events are led by the head distiller.

A selection of Anytime Activities - Flight of Fancy, Design a Gin and Distil a Gin - no booking required - turn up and enjoy - ideal if your schedule needs to be flexible.

Distillery shop

Visit the distillery and shop and browse from the range of gin filled demi-johns – flavourful traditional gin recipes and fruit based Aberdeen gins (using locally sourced fruit) that are hand crafted within the distillery. These are very limited, single batch creations and available in a range of sizes to take home. Or take home a selection with the Aberdeen Gin Tasting Box and while you're there, why not take a look at the other inspiring merch on offer.
