The Kirkjuvagr Gin Making Experience
Spend the afternoon with us here at The Orkney Distillery. Our distiller will take you on a full tour to explore the process of making our Kirkjuvagr gins. You will then craft your own gin recipe under the guidance of our distiller, with over 30 botanicals to choose from. Having selected your individual botanicals, you will oversee your miniature still and distil your very own gin! Your spirit will be bottled with a personalised label for you to take home at the end of the day. Whilst you’re here you can enjoy complimentary Kirkjuvagr gin and tonics as well as nibbles from local food producers. We will end the day with a blind taste test to see which gin is the most popular!
Coffee & Gin Bar
Situated in the main area of our distillery and visitor centre, the Coffee & Gin Bar is an ideal place to relax and watch Kirkwall’s bustling harbour-front. You can join us before or after your tour, or just pop along to speak to our knowledgeable staff about our Kirkjuvagr Orkney Gin and merchandise.
