  Visited the Maidstone distillery recently and did the tour and tasting experience. It was a marvellous experience and I must say that they were very generous in their tasting... read more side of the tour. A warm welcome and a large G&T before the tour, a gin cocktail during the talk as well as two small neat samples of their gin to accompany the talk. Amanda was our guide and did an excellent job. You have a fascinating talk to begin with regarding the history of Maidstone gin making and the Bishop family and a full explanation of how this has now morphed into gin making in Maidstone today. There is a short video to accompany the talk (as well as the gin cocktail) and finally an explanation of the current gin distilling process (copper stills, bottling process etc). Well worth the visit and great to see that most of the ingredients that go into Bishop’s gin are locally sourced. You can buy the produce on site - well worth it. A great experience and real value for money
