The Hayman’s Distillery Tour and Cocktail Masterclass was fantastic – a perfect gift for my friend’s 50th birthday. The venue is really stunning and wonderful to see the Distillery and Botanical Laboratory, with the comfortable Bar upstairs. The guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable. From the warm welcome with a delicious G&T, to mixing our own botanicals, to the highly informative gin tasting and the grand finale of gin cocktail making and tasting with their expert barman. Generous discounts from the shop included in the tour – I’m looking forward to using my purchases to make Hayman’s Gin Cocktails for my friends (and myself!). I highly recommend a visit for any of the Hayman’s Distillery experiences – a must for any gin lovers or those ready for their first gin experience!

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely evening here taking part in the gin cocktail masterclass. Not only did we enjoy a few delicious drinks generously poured by Daryl, we also learnt a fair bit about our favourite tipple in the stylish surroundings Hayman’s Distillery offers. Comfortable, friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you.

We attended the mini-tour, with a master class in making cocktails. Interesting & fun. Friendly staff, met real nice people. Gin was tasty too. Totally recommend!
