Scotland is ready, Aberdeen is excited.

The City of Aberdeen Distillery is the first distillery in Aberdeen City for over 80 years. The distillery is owned and run by two friends Dan and Alan. The experiences we offer are led by the Head Distiller.

Your clients can distil their very own bottle of Scottish Gin within a historic railway arch in the heart of Aberdeen City. The distillery also offers tours including an exploration of the production areas and the Gin Tasting Masterclasses where clients can explore flavour through taste (a most enjoyable way to learn all about gin, botanicals and distilling!).

All experiences include a double G&T on arrival, a tasting of the range of locally distilled gins and led by the Head Distiller.
