About City of Aberdeen Distillery
The City of Aberdeen Distillery is the first distillery in Aberdeen City for 80 years. The distillery is owned and run by two friends Dan and Alan. The experiences we offer are led by the head distiller.
Excite your clients and offer them the opportunity to become distillers in the Gin School Experience. Your clients can distil their very own bottle of Scottish Gin within a historic railway arch in the heart of Aberdeen City. Distillery Tours and Gin Tasting Masterclasses are also available.
The distillery is located 5 minutes walk from the main shopping centre / transport hub (including train station).
