Speyside Tours Gin School

DISTILLING EXPERIENCE

Through its sister company, Speyside Tours, Speyside Aypple offers bespoke distilling experiences at the Speyside Gin School. These small group sessions provide a hands-on introduction to distilling, using traditional copper pot mini stills, with botanicals foraged from the walled gardens at Gordon Castle to create your very own bottle of gin.

Guests are guided through the fundamentals of gin distillation, from understanding core botanicals to sourcing ingredients locally. Foraging forms an important part of the experience, encouraging a closer look at what grows in the surrounding landscape and keeping the process firmly rooted in place. Each participant creates and distils their own recipe, with guidance throughout.

The Gin School experience is suitable for anyone curious about distilling, whether experienced gin drinkers or those simply interested in learning something new. Sessions are tailored for individuals, couples, or small groups and are designed to be down-to-earth, practical, and personal.
