What to expect
After a brief introduction to how spirits are made and what makes botanicals matter, you'll taste through the distillery's full portfolio. Staff will talk you through flavour profiles and balance as you work out your formula. Using basic lab equipment—pipettes and measuring tools—you'll compound your chosen spirit in small quantities, then watch it being bottled and labelled for you. It's hands-on but structured; no prior knowledge needed.
