      Lovely tour and tasting
      Really enjoyable afternoon tour and tasting. A fabulous, knowledgeable hostess and a really delicious range of products meant that we had a very convivial hour and a half. We sampled Gins, Vodka and Liqueurs in an intimate setting. Happy to support local small businesses.

      Great Afternoon
      I learned a lot about the production of the vodka and gin but the best was the friendly informal presentation by Kecia and Mary who made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Would have no hesitation in recommending both the tour and the products.

      Fantastic experience
      The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave a very comprehensive explanation of the processes involved in making the different drinks. She was able to answer all the questions we had too. The drinks are all delicious and we were delighted with the whole experience. It was very good value for money - we left having had plenty to drink, and having learned a lot about the processes too. The shop is nice as well and good prices for some truly local products. Loved it!

      Excellent tasting and blending experience
      I have been on many gin tastings this was my first blending masterclass. I have to say this is the best gin tasting experience I have been on. The hosts were fantastic and what a great back story. If you don't have enough time to do the blending masterclass I would thoroughly recommend the tasting. However if you can, definitely go for the blending masterclass. I would say that it is excellent value for money and a thoroughly entertaining and educational way to spend a couple of hours. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

      A Hidden Gem
      Spent a fabulous afternoon at Tayport Distillery with a group of friends brilliantly hosted by Kecia, the owner, and her daughter Mary. The tour got off to a great start with welcome bubbles and a dash of their delicious 1992 liqueur before Mary gave us a guided tour of the distillery. She was a great guide, informative and enthusiastic. The tour ended with a cocktail making session using their very own Never 25 eau du vie all washed down with some well needed tasty nibbles. It was great fun and I would highly recommend a visit with friends. They also have some lovely gift ideas. Thank you Kecia and Mary.

      Gintastic Experience!
      Some friends and I had a fantastic gin making experience recently at Tayport Distillery. The owner Kecia and her daughter Mary were so helpful and informative and made the whole experience very jolly. It was so fascinating learn about all the botanicals that go in to gin. Also being able to create your own gin to take home was really special. I would highly recommend this especially with a group of friends.

    Kecia and Mary put on a wonderful tasting for my wife and I. I could not recommend this tour more highly. The ambiance was lovely. You can tell they have a very high knowledge of and passion for their products and the process of making alcohol. Their warm and friendly personalities make you feel like you're right at home. And I certainly can't forget - their vodka and gin are amazing. Their products have a smoothness and flavour to them that is bar none. Needless to say, my wife and I are Tayport Distillery fans for life! We hope to go back for their cocktail making class.

    Attending the Tour and Tasting evening at Tayport Distillery was an exquisite experience that seamlessly blended education with indulgence. The knowledgeable guide navigated us through the intricate process of distillation, unraveling the secrets behind their exceptional spirits. The tasting session was a symphony of flavors, each sip unveiling a carefully crafted harmony of botanicals. The ambience, with its modern charm, added an extra layer to the evening, making it a memorable journey for the senses. Cheers to Tayport Distillery for an enlightening and delightful affair! We will come back. Greetings from the German customers!

    Absolutely amazing distillery experience! This was such an intimate experience and was lovely to get to know Duncan and Kecia and sample all the wonderful spirits including the vodka, gins and liqueurs.

    There wasn’t a single drink that I did not love and I both my mum and I couldn’t leave without buying a few of the bottles. We also really enjoyed being able to wax our own miniature of gin. It was such a fun added bonus on the day.

    We had such an amazing day and it really was a great experience. 100% recommend that anyone in the area give the distillery a visit.

    Excellent visit to a small family run distillery.
    Very friendly and welcoming.
    Only small groups on the visit which makes for a very personal experience, your hosts are very knowledgeable and open.
    The products are excellent and I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly.

    We had a brilliant time at the distillery, due to the times there was only myself and my wife on the tour but because of this is deemed much more personal. It was fascinating to find out how mum started in the garage and has now got her son and daughter interested in the process as well. They are so knowledgeable friendly and good company, would definitely recommend you visit if near by. We wish them every success in the future.

    Wonderful evening yesterday doing the tour and tasting with a group of friends. It was a lovely friendly event with the mother and daughter duo from this family run business. As well as being a very interesting tour of the distilling process, it was great to hear the history and personal stories behind the business that really brought it to life. Such great drinks in the tasting- only problem is then choosing what to buy to take home!

    Visit was part of my birthday trip away with the wife and good friends.

    I've been on many Gin tours over the years but this one is at the top end of them,
    It's a small venue on an Industrial estate, We were greeted by a Lady who owns & runs the distillery who made us feel very welcome, she is so passionate & knowledgeable about how they make the Gin & vodka, Lots of stories where you was from, how she met her husband, how the rest of her family are involved the business great laughs...

    Plenty of samples to taste, We even got to wax our own free miniature sample bottles

    She made us feel very welcomed,
