Must-do local small business gin distillery
My partner and I saw the Linlithgow Gin Distillery tour on a popular voucher website and decided to buy the tour as a gift for a close friend's birthday. We all went this past Saturday, 2nd July and had an absolutely wonderful time. The distillery is run by the 2 founders/owners and they do *everything* themselves --- the tour, the research & development, the distilling, bottling, corking, labelling, distribution, etc. The tour is a brilliant format, opening with the history of the distillery and a tonne of information about how the 2 owners came to start the distillery (I won't spoil it!). We proceeded to then learn more about the actual distilling process, as well as being shown the bottling process, labelling, etc. which is all done by hand! Finally, we had a gin sampling of 5 different gins that they produce, with a choice of mixer and an explanation of the story behind each gin. The value for money on this tour is absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who is into learning more about gin, who wants to support a small local business or fancies trying something new. I would highly recommend the gin to anyone who counts themselves a gin lover -- you absolutely must try it!
