From tours and cocktail-making classes to a gin-making workshop, this distillery provides expertly crafted programs. Visitors can even book a gin and chocolate pairing class. Also within the distillery is a chic bar and terrace, The Arches, offering views of Edinburgh’s skyline alongside tasty tipples. Accompanying craft cocktails and gins are Scottish charcuterie and cheese boards.
The distillery’s menu includes a range of gins, liqueurs, signature spritzes, G&Ts, cocktails and mixed drinks, and martinis. Wine lovers can also indulge in some sparkling, white, red and rosé wines, as well as craft beer, stouts and ciders. Monthly curated bartenders make appearances at The Arches, too, showcasing both contemporary and classic cocktails.

They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are torrential and loud, dumping thousands of gallons of water per second, sending mist hundreds of feet up into the air as water soars over a mountain or cliff edge.
