Had an absolutely first class experience yesterday (13/02/26) We were made to feel so welcome by our guide Ruth and the hour and a half flew by. Informative and friendly - probably helped by the fact that it was just the 2 of us and Ruth....it felt more like a chat among friends. Ruth's passion for gin - the subject not just the alcohol - was evident and her story telling was 1st class. Having been on whisky distillery tours before we both found this by far the best of them all. And the gins were pretty good too. Would thoroughly recommend = 10/10
Rachel gave us a splendid overview of the distillerie's background and a taste of 4 great whiskeys. The history of the magical drink and different types was fun. Recommended visit if you like whiskey
Fantastic experience on Thursday afternoon with Kate. We were welcomed with a refreshing gin cocktail before being given a detailed history of gin and gin making. We found it fascinating. We also got to taste their seven gins while being given information about each one in turn. Then we saw the whiskey stills. The whole thing was amazing and we took full advantage of the discount in the shop!
We bought the Stirling City Pass for a day and the tasting is included. It was a Sunday and we were glad that we were able to get a reservation for a family of 8. We had teenagers with us and they offered non-alcoholic drinks & they were able to learn about the process. We enjoyed the experience.
My partner and I attended a gin tasting at Stirling Distillery, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Ruth, was incredibly kind and professional. She shared so many interesting details about the distillery, the gin-making process and the history, making the whole experience both engaging and fun. The products are of outstanding quality, each with a unique character that we loved discovering during the tasting. It was a pleasant and relaxing moment, perfect for immersing ourselves in the welcoming atmosphere of the distillery. We can’t wait to return for another visit the next time we’re in Scotland! Highly recommended to all gin enthusiasts and anyone looking for an authentic and well-curated experience.
