Such a great experience, really informative especially about Maidstone and the history of gin. Love the sustainability of all the products and the venue itself is beautiful.
Co founder... read more Sam who led the evening made it really engaging and loved hearing the story about how her and her husband set up the business only a few years ago.
I shall definitely be popping in for a drink or two at the bar in future now I have discovered this little gem!

  I really enjoyed the gin making experience along with my family (all adults). It was a practical lesson delivered by Naomi in a friendly fun way but was educational too.... read more I'll definitely do it again and will be recommending it to others. A great gift or personal experience with one or two beverages free along the way. Lasted just over 2 hours and wasn't rushed at all.

  We didn’t manage to get on to a tour/ experience but decided to pop in for a drink at the bar whilst staying in the local area.
A very... read more warm welcome from the staff and had a great chat with the bar man. Enjoyed our drinks so much that we ended up buying a bottle of gin and toffee liquor.
Will definitely be back and, will book your next time. Thank you.

  We did a distillery tour and gin tasting for £20 per head and it was really good. Gin was very nice and was great to learn about how it worked.... read more The kettle and distillery equipment looked like something straight out of Willy Wonka's factory. Would happily do again.

  Amazing gin making experience, lots of fun & we learnt so much. Lovely to come away with our home made bottle of gin which we had named. All very professional... read more but in a relaxed atmosphere.

  My husband bought me a voucher for my birthday for a gin making master class. Having not made gin before I expected it to be just mixing a few botanicals... read more into some gin, but it was actually the full distillation process. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot about the whole process. It was really good fun choosing the flavours to add to our gin, there’s so much to choose from, and then finally choosing a name for our finished product. The drinks provided during the experience were excellent quality and it was good to be able to stay in the bar area after. Would love to do it again just to be able to try mixing a completely different flavour.

  We booked the Tour and Tasting experience with canapes from Frederic's Bistro (absolutely delicious) as an added extra.
The whole evening was professionally run and fun. From the welcome G&T... read more to the history of gin in Maidstone, to the explanation of the distillery process and the tutored tasting session was fantastic.
Wholeheartedly would recommend.

  Had such fun at the Maidstone Disterllery Cocktail Masterclass for our work do. Delicious gin & Canapes! Staff were amazing, would deffo reccomend!

  The friendly and knowledgeable staff were first class. The History was fascinating and the Gin delicious.

  Dropped in on Saturday morning looking for a present for my brother and sister-in-law's 30th wedding anniversary. Picked up a presentation hamper which they absolutely loved and unbeknownst to me,... read more they have tickets for your distillery tour which they are very much looking forward to, plus were already looking at the glasses included within the gift set. Score two to myself and my partner for the inspired choice! Thank you to the two staff members on Saturday morning, one gent and one lady who were brilliantly professional in terms of service and steered my choice of gift down the best path.

  Me and my partner took my parents here when they were over visiting from Belfast. We were given a gin on arrival (which was really refreshing). The tour itself gave... read more the whole background to gin, how it came to England and specifically Maidstone which was really interesting. Our guide Naomi had a great sense of humour, by the end of the tour we’d got to know everyone else and we’re full of laughter! The guy serving drinks at the bar looked after us really well. Great time had by all and would highly recommend the tour and their gin!

  This was my third time here and the third experience and it was my least favourite, but it was still good.

You get to make three Cocktails and they... read more are all enjoyable. We even got a card detailing how to make some of the Cocktails.

You also get a few Canapés, which were delicious.

On this it was the staff that let it down. Most of the staff seemed a little off-hand and it just made it less enjoyable than the other experience. The best member of staff was the guy, but we only really saw him on the way out.

  A fantastic little distillery with so much to offer.
The tour was so interesting I didn't know there was so much to learn about Gin and its history in Maidstone.... read more

I was nervous at first as an experience I’d done the... read more measurements of the ingredients were measured by the chap running the tour. Here you measure your own, but you have a guide and lots of assistance from the guide. This was Naomi for us, she really knew her stuff and was able to guide you to make the gin you want.
It’s an very generous package with a double gin at the start of their George Bishop gin, a cocktail using their toffee liqueur during the making and then another double of their RansCombe WIld afterwards. as well as trying your own creation. There was no pressure to purchase anything, which was refreshing and I didn’t feel rushed out of the door once we’d finished either. I would recommend this to everyone, totally worth the cost.
All of the staff were really lovely and it was lovely to see how busy it was with cocktails etc when we’d finished.

  Four of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening Distillery tour. We were greeted by very informative staff who went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and explained the history... read more of Gin distilling in Maidstone and elaborated on the current process.
It is a small personal distillery so don't expect huge bottling machines. They make batches of 'hand made' gin lovingly produced to the highest standards, which you will be pleased to know you get to sample.
The whole experience is not rushed and plenty of time to ask searching questions and see how the magic is performed.
I and my whole group would recommend this as well worth 'doing' if you are ever in Maidstone.
You will also learn a lot about the passion that goes into a bottle and they may even give you a seek preview of new products under development.

  I went with a friend to do the gin making experience and wasn’t disappointed. The staff were amazing and very helpful when we were choosing our botanicals. Would go again... read more

  We went for a tour of the distillery today. It was a unique Christmas present and a very interesting one. We were met by a very bubbly lady called Amanda... read more and were given double gin and tonics each. The tour was very interesting and informative. We learned about the history of gin and the distillery and got to taste another gin they produce. They also make a toffee liqueur which we didn't try today but have had before and it is absolutely amazing. My husband couldn't resist on leaving and bought a bottle of London gin and some toffee liqueur. We weren't gin lover's but have been converted. I would recommend the tour to anyone it really is interesting and the staff super friendly.

All finished off with another taster.

Now looking at taking the team from work for our Christmas outing!

  We booked the Gin Making Experience and it was excellent.

The staff were patient and helpful and we had great fun making our bottles of Gin.

The... read more booking comes with a large G&T, before you start and one at the end, whilst you wait for your bottle, with personalised labels to be produced.

During the making you also get a Toffee Gin liqueur, with Ginger Ale, which was amazing.

The time making the Gin just flew by, 90 minutes seemed like about 5 minutes.

It was such fun that we are thinking of returning to do it again.
