The Old Smiddy Gin School

Very enjoyable visit, although it's a tough walk from the town centre.
Plenty of gin to sample, and in decent measures.
I would recommend a taxi up and back!
Well worth a visit.

Kate was a great tour guide, full of facts and humour. Really interesting and the range of gins you get to try is great. Might even bring the hubby next time.

What a fabulous way to spend a few hours. Sipping 7 gins with an amazing story for each beautifully told by our host Rachel. Informative and funny washed down with some tasty Stirling Gins. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great time on the Whisky tour with the very knowledgeable Ben.
We learnt a lot of great facts and tips about Whisky. It was a great way to spend an afternoon and the tasting was superb. Interesting tour around the distillery. Thanks Ben for a great time!

My husband and I participated in the old smiddy gin school. It was a birthday gift from friends. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Rachel was a great host.
Big thanks to Kieran who ran the gin school he was so friendly and knowledgeable and made it a really fun day. There was also plenty of opportunity to sample the amazing gins. We enjoyed all parts of the class and were delighted to take home our own bottle of gin that we made. All staff were very attentive and looked after us well. We had a great day and would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

I was only offered a glass of water instead of the welcome drink and free sample as stated on booking for drivers. When I emailed to complain they only offered 10% off a return visit.
The place is tiny with not much to see therefore I have no desire to return. I would certainly not recommend.

We had a great afternoon at the Gin School learning to make our own gin. Megan made us feel very welcome. She was friendly and attentive throughout, as were the rest of the team. Would definitely recommend.

Visited with my dad to celebrate his birthday. At 74yrs he already has everything so I was looking for a gift that involved spending time with him and having nice memories and it was exactly that. We both thoroughly enjoyed our day, a good mix of education and history and the practical side of making the gin. Brice was a great host, we were well looked after and loved having our very own custom made gin. Would definitely recommend this experience!

This was a wonderful, well organised event and well worth the money. The guide, Sarah, was very accommodating and knowledgeable showing us the whole process. It is a very hands on business.
We got a chance to taste some very different gins that we would not normally have done and then a trip to the small shop for some of the gins we had tasted.
Thank you also for recommending a restaurant for us as we were from out of town.
This is definitely worth a visit to the hidden gin gem !

What a fantastic afternoon we had making gin for my mums birthday. Melody was very knowledgeable and just a lovely person and couldn’t do enough for us, definitely went above and beyond our expectations. The gin making experience was brilliant too, can’t wait to drink our gins. The cocktails and gins were delicious as well. Highly recommend this afternoon experience 👍👍👍👍👍
