While staying in Scotland’s capital city, I couldn’t miss a tour of the Edinburgh Gin Distillery<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Afficher<\/p>\n

And after a few failed attempts at booking a tour online (blame the Fringe… Too many people trying to escape the buzzing streets of Edinburgh for an underground ginny escape)<\/em> – I finally managed to secure a space a few days ago for the Discovery Tour<\/a>, lasting approx. an hour and including a complimentary G&T<\/strong> at the end [which you get to chose from 2 different expressions. I guess I’ll try their pinkish Valentine’s gin another day :'(]<\/em><\/p>\n

I had the chance to attend a tour hosted by the dynamic & funny Wee Jamie [if you see this, thanks for your enthusiasm ;)]<\/em> which actually seemed much more like a gin comedy\/one-man-show and wasn’t boring for a second<\/strong>, even when discussing quite serious historical facts like the terrible Gin Craze<\/a>. This guy really knows how to entertain a crowd, and seriously, it was a real breathe of fresh air to me<\/strong> (I may be too used to technical\/geeky tours where people try to show off their knowledge by asking all sorts of unnecessary questions… Not like my questions are more relevant though, but hey, nobody’s perfect ;))<\/em><\/p>\n

I actually learn quite a few “gin fun facts<\/strong>” which I’ll make sure to compile in a further article for you guys (it’s not very often that you get to actually LEARN stuff from a discovery tour after visiting 156498789 distilleries, so yes, kudos to them for that!)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from the distillery<\/a> (note that in the evening, the distillery\u00a0turns to a cocktail bar called “Heads & Tales” – worth checking out!)<\/em><\/p>\n
