About City of Aberdeen Distillery & Gin School

Aberdeen's Gin Distillery is the first distillery in Aberdeen for over 75 years, situated within a historic railway arch in the heart of the city—close to key transport links by car, train, or bus.

As trains rumble overhead, discover the best of Scottish Gin, take a tour of the distillery, enjoy a Gin Tasting Masterclass, or even distil your own full-sized (70cl) bottle of gin at the Gin School Experience. All events are led by the head distiller.

A selection of Anytime Activities—Flight of Fancy, Design a Gin, and Distil a Gin—requires no booking; simply turn up and enjoy. These are ideal if your schedule needs to be flexible.

Visit the distillery and shop to browse the range of gin-filled demi-johns, flavourful traditional gin recipes, and fruit-based Aberdeen gins (using locally sourced fruit) hand-crafted within the distillery. These are very limited, single-batch creations available in a range of sizes to take home.

Or take home a selection with the Aberdeen Gin Tasting Box, and while you're there, explore the other inspiring merchandise on offer.

Book an experience at the distillery—tours, tastings, and the world-famous Aberdeen Gin School—all highly rated. Join an Anytime Activity, such as tasting the range of award-winning gins on the Flight of Fancy. Take home Aberdeen Gins from the distillery shop (available in various sizes). All gins are made using ultra-smooth, premium organic alcohol.

Based in the city centre with easy transport links, you can become a distiller and craft your own bottle of Scottish Gin—or simply design it, and the team can distil it for you. All experiences start with a double G&T.

The Discovery Tour also includes a goodie bag to take home, including a 5cl miniature (label customisable by request).

Great for solo travellers, friend groups, or large organised groups—we cater for groups from 1 to 4 and love to work with travel trade partners (see base of booking page).
