The gin was absolutely outstanding – beautifully balanced and full of flavour. The tasting boards were next level, both in presentation and taste. On top of that, the staff were amazing: friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Great atmosphere, quality all around, and definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommended 🍸🔥

We stopped in here off a recommendation from another distillery. Let me tell you this is a must visit if you enjoy spirits at all! We were fortunate enough to have jeremy behind the bar and had an amazing time chatting with him and tasting their delicious spirits! The TeKiwi is really good and unique! Jeremy also has a lot of great local reccomendations on places to visit in the golden coast and how to get there. I again cant recommend this place enough excellent and unique alcohol and even better service! We obviously had to leave with a bottle!
