Gin Experience

The Gin Experience takes place at our ‘Spirit of Masham’ Distillery. Your experience will start with a welcoming Gin & Tonic followed by a tour of the distillery to meet our stills, Little Stan and Big Stan and to see how we distil our ‘Spirit of Masham’ Dry Yorkshire Gin. More complimentary drinks will be served, including our special cocktails. You will then get to work on your very own copper alembic still, where you will create your very own unique personalised bottle of gin to take home with you.

"We had a great afternoon, very informative and clear to see Derek is passionate about what they do there. If you're lucky enough to visit you're in for a great day, you even bring a bottle of Gin home."

"Everything about it was brilliant. We learnt so much about gin and the distilling process. The range of botanicals you can add to your own gin is amazing, there was so much choice and there is guidance to help you know how much to add."
