Welcome to Aberdeen's Distillery
Welcome to the City of Aberdeen Distillery & Gin School - the first distillery in Aberdeen for nearly 80 years and home to the Aberdeen Gin School.
Owned and run by two friends, the distillery is situated in the heart of the Scottish City of Aberdeen (the Silver City with the Golden Sands), within a historic railway arch where true small batch Aberdeen Gins are designed and distilled.
Visit the distillery shop and taste of the range of locally distilled gin or indulge in a Flight of Fancy. Join us on an experience - choose from the Discovery Tour, Gin Tasting Masterclass, or even distil your very own bottle of Scottish Gin at the Gin School Experience.

"We went for the discovery tour, upon arrival you get a double (their own ‘Fresh’) gin & tonic which didn’t last very long. Interesting history of gin making in Aberdeen. Very friendly hosts and good fun. We’ll be back for the gin school 👍 "
-- Kenny M, Aberdeen
"This was an incredible experience, Alan & Dan were just wonderful. If you really want a unique experience then this is definitely something for you. Worth every penny. "
