Had a great afternoon at the gin tasting session in the Cumberland Bar. Neil was so knowledgeable about gins and delivered the session with lots of humour, he really has a way with people and made the whole experience such fun. I've been to both gin and whisky tastings before and this was, by far, the best. I loved the mini copper stills, what a great idea as it really gets you involved. I would highly recommend this as a fantastic way to learn about gin and spend a couple of hours in entertaining company. Great value for money.

Simply amazing experience! Our host, Neil, handled the session brilliantly - he was just the right mix of knowledge, humour and showman. He guided us through the history of gin before expertly showing us how to make our own unique gin which was surprisingly easy. I’d thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who has even the remotest interest in gin - it’s a great way to spend 3 hours! Top marks to Neil who is a credit to the Sip Antics organisation. Now looking forward to the rum one later this year…!

We really enjoyed our visit finding it interesting and entertaining. Who knew there was so much to know about Gin! An opportunity to sample different gins and to explore a vast selection of Botanicals resulting in our very own unique bottle to take home. Would definitely recommend a visit

Neil what a character , entertaining , funny , extremely knowledgeable made three hours fly by . Encouraged us to explore different aromas and tastes in gin and entertained us with many stories on the history of gin. Would really recommend this experience on a rainy Edinburgh summers day (or any day). Thanks Neil Mark & Kathy

I bought my partner the rum school experience for his birthday and would highly recommend. Neil was informative, professional and entertaining throughout and we had a lot of fun. The range of ingredients is impressive and Neil was there every step of the process to help us make some tasty rum and gin. Great value for money....everyone should go! A real hidden gem!

We had a fantastic time at the Sip Antics distillation workshop. Neil was a knowledgeable and fun guide through this process and we all had great fun. We tasted several different gins and learnt about many more. We then each chose different botanicals to flavour our own gin, with Neil's expert assistance, and finally we were treated to a gin cocktail whilst our gins distilled. Such a fun and interesting way to spend several hours with friends.

This was a really fun way of celebrating a giant birthday. It was really informative but fun all at the same time. The process of creating the gin was clearly explained and Neil was really helpful in enhancing my choices. I can't wait to taste the product.

What a wonder time we had! Neil was an amazing instructor; friendly, funny, and an amazing amount of knowledge. We were the only two in the class and the experience was very personalized. We laughed and learned the whole time. Came away with two very different bottle of gin to enjoy when we get home! Highly recommend this experience!!

Fantastic experience distilling gin. Neil was a excellent host - knowledgeable, helpful, and with a great sense of humour. Lots of gin to try and a bottle, of your own concoction, to take home. Would definitely recommend.

This was so much more fun than I expected! Trying all the different flavours of rum and smelling the different ingredients before trying to choose the best ones to use was so much fun! Neil and Gary were awesome, a great experience
