Gin Making Experience
Spend the afternoon with at The Orkney Distillery and begin with a full tour to explore the process of making our Kirkjuvagr gins. You will then craft your own gin recipe under the guidance of the distiller, with over 30 botanicals to choose from. Having selected your individual botanicals, you will oversee your miniature still and distil your very own gin! Your spirit will be bottled with a personalised label for you to take home at the end of the day. During the afternoon you'll enjoy complimentary Kirkjuvagr gin and tonics, and nibbles from local food producers, before ending the day with a blind taste test to see which gin is the most popular!
