Upon arrival, you and your fellow gin enthusiasts will be greeted with a complimentary gin and tonic to get you into the spirit of things.
You will then embark on a guided tour of the distillery and our knowledgeable gin distillery tour guide will give you an insight into the history of Hensol Castle and its inhabitants’ interesting links to gin.
The tour will lead you through to our exclusive botanicals room, where you can touch, smell and understand where gin botanicals come from and how they enhance this wonderful spirit.
Next, you’ll move onto your classroom, where you will find out what gin is made from, and can take charge of your very own individual miniature copper pot still. Our master distiller knows everything there is to know about how to make the perfect gin and under his expert tuition, he will guide you every step of the way ensuring you make a gin you’ll be proud to call your own and show off to your friends….but maybe not share with them!
And finally, the bit you’ve all been waiting for, the gin tasting experience culminating with a perfect serve of Hensol Castle Distillery's gin. For the designated drivers, there will be a take away option for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home!
