NB Distillery has come a long way from its modest beginnings in a kitchen 'ginnery' in 2013 to a purpose-built distillery with serious eco-credentials. From local to global, they produce a range of small batch and multi award-winning NB Gins and exceptional Scottish Rums. NB Gin was voted the World's Best London Dry Gin in 2015. It was selected by the Royal Family on two monumental occasions, served at the Brit Awards as well as many other amazing success stories and awards. Recently awarded Gold, four Silvers and a Bronze in the International World Spirits Competition (IWSC) for their NB Rums, Gins and Vodka - one of the most prestigious awards in the spirits trade, and they are incredibly proud to be recognised alongside some truly world-class gins and rums.
Visitors are warmly welcomed on their Ginspiration Experience to "Learn, Sample and Relax" - a 5-star journey consistently praised on TripAdvisor, Google, and Trustpilot. Themed around the idea of "coming home", with comfy sofas, log burners, and a relaxing tasting lounge for you to enjoy their world-class spirits with friends or family. The Ginspiration Experience is a celebration of Scottish craftsmanship, hospitality, and world-class flavour - an unforgettable highlight for any gin enthusiast!
You will be warmly welcomed with a refreshing NB Gin & Tonic, crafted with the World’s Best London Dry Gin, as the passionate team shares the inspiring NB story behind the globally celebrated brand. The experience offers an engaging insight into the meticulous distillation process, with a close-up view of the majestic copper stills and an introduction to the art behind their award-winning gins and rums.
The journey continues in the beautiful tasting lounge, where guests are invited to unwind and savour a guided tasting of a ‘flight’ of 3 NB Gins. Then, a final drink of choice to enjoy, including a choice of one of their exceptional, award-winning Scottish Rums - with time to relax, ask questions, and soak in the atmosphere with friends or family.
