A fun afternoon

We went to Exeter gin school for my son’s birthday., it was a fun thing to do and also learn the science behind making gin. Coming away with your own made bottle of gin from a wide choice of botanical’s. . A lovely couple explained and helped us make our choices along with a few G & T’s. It was a clean and colourfully decorated place. Thank for for a lovely afternoon Julie Ower

Great gin tasting experience

I would highly recommend this informative and fun gin tasting session. It was great to learn about the distillery and about the stories behind the gins. There were too many to chose from and the rum was delicious! I'll definitely be investing in the festival packs. Thank you Exeter Gin :)

What a brilliant experience

What a brilliant experience, Karen and her husband made us very welcome, their story of how they started was inspiring, learnt things I didn’t know about gin making, the tasting is such a joy with explanation of each different flavour, we also got to taste some rums …. I am not a rum drinker but these were lovely and so smooth, tasting area is really inviting, a throughly lovely informative couple hours really recommend it

Well worth a visit!

Karen showed her passion for the gin/rum and tequila they make and sell.
We had at least 11 tasters with fever tree mixers. We loved the taste of many of the products which made it difficult to choose. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Hi Jayne thank you so much for the review. We really did have a good session so to speak, it was really enjoyable whilst raining outside the sun shone inside for sure. Great fun on a rainy day and hope to see you all again and hope you enjoy your purchases. Karen x

Great!

I like to buy a gin from places I visit but I was at a wedding in Exeter so I didn’t want to be carrying a bottle of gin. I ordered it on the way home and it was delivered within 48 hours. Fabulous customer service and a lovely gin.

Can I give you seven stars

Can I give you seven stars? The gin is, honestly, the best I have ever tasted! We first came across your rhubarb gin while staying in Devon a couple of years ago. We loved it so much that by the end of our stay, our gins were poured out for us immediately we went into the restaurant!!!! We were delighted to find we could get it online.
Delivery was quick and careful. Packaging EXCELLENT.
I had a question which was handled by a very lovely, helpful person.
So absolutely excellent in every way. Thank you.

A fantastic way to spend an afternoon

We came for my partner’s birthday and had the most amazing time. The hosts are so welcoming, and really helpful while you make your gin so it seems that you’ll always come out with a lovely bottle of gin. Would really recommend - a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
