Bombay Sapphire Distillery Discovery Experience with Gin Cocktail for Two 10798927

An extremely professional, informative and well-organised experience. Highly recommended

When it came to the initial taster it reminded me of the series of Porridge with all the prisoners on the metal walk way with the guards looming over them. It made you feel uncomfortable and gave the impression of 'calculated meanness' and tainted the atmosphere. We came to taste but not everybody wants to get pie eyed. Our guide made the tour successful by her enthusiasm but overall it was a bit of an own goal by the brewery. If there had been more than our 6 it would have been good: the tour guide would have had limited time to answer questions, and with a crowd we probably would have difficulty hearing her, despite having a good voice and she keeping to a fix timed script would not have been able to show her personality and enthusiasm for the brewery. When we went into the ingredients identification section most of the samples were old, and had lost their scent. We trawled around several settings. Missed 'performance opportunities'. The original video was too much of a hard sell. Hence the middling score. In warm weather you would naturally be more interested in trying more in the bar. Go in warmer weather.

Pretty much what you would expect. A nice way to spend a couple of hours if you like gin. Very informative

Enjoyable and relaxing

Had a fab time. Everything was perfect

The tour was well worth the money paid (especially if you have a discount code). You get a free drink included (a choice of 3 gins to choose from). The distillery tour is held by a member of staff who is full of information (some other distillery tours involve yourself going around reading signs etc - However Bombay is a guided tour which provides a better experience). There is also a hands on section which involves some of the botanical used in the gin. I also ate at the cafe here and the portions for sandwiches and cakes were well worth the money paid as well as fresh and tasty. Social distancing was well catered for and there was plenty of space for people on the tour to move around. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend doing it or gifting it to someone also.
