"A tiny intimate space, a nice change of pace from other distillery and brewery tours we've done. Rachel was a wealth of knowledge and made it more than just sipping whiskies."

"The distillery is so unique and I enjoyed the smaller feel of it, it definitely felt like a family run business. The whole family enjoyed the experience, especially tasting the Gin!"
