The Best Distilleries for Gin Tasting in Scotland - AFAR
"A small seaside operation that grew from a founders’ family kitchen into a purpose-built site offering a 'Ginspiration' tour ($30) and sampling of a London Dry that was notable enough to be served at the Queen’s 90th birthday." - Katie MacLeod
We had a fantastic time at North Berwick Distillery. Alison was an amazing host—so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed sampling the drinks, and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the tour to friends and family—such a brilliant experience from start to finish.

We had a lovely evening hearing about the history of the distillery and tasting the gin and rum products. Our guide, Alison, was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The ambiance of the tasting room was relaxed. We felt it was good value and would definitely recommend it.

My wife and I had an absolutely fabulous time on the 'Ginspiration' tour.
Our guide was warm and welcoming and full of fun. She contributed greatly to what was a five star experience.
She had a deep knowledge of the history of NB Gin and the processes involved in it's creation. The gin (and rum) itself is an absolute pleasure on the pallet. She also had plenty little bits of advice and suggestions for different ways to enjoy the spirits.
We couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. What a brilliant way to spend a Saturday evening.

We visited NB for their Ginspiration Tour, which was fab! Jenny was a brilliant guide, chatting us through production and then a tasting of their gins. With tasters and two drinks provided, I'd strongly reccomend following the tour with dinner for a great evening out. Thanks so much!

NB Distillery is set against the stunning green landscape of North Berwick. The people are delightful, and the distillery itself is a beautiful space. I ordered two bottles to my flat (gin and rum) and was so impressed by the quick shipping! They offer wonderful drink choices for a gift or an upcoming party. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional experience within North Berwick.

Gorgeous Vodka and Rum. Very unique, will be ordering online.
(edit: 2025, They made a gorgeous batch of locally sourced raspberries to infuse into a delicious small batch Gin. Miss out and regret it. Also, their vodka is so clean and pure its delicious neat, but also great with slimline tonic!

Great wee family run distillery in North Berwick. High quality gins, runs and a great vodka too. It can be a bit difficult to get to without a car but not impossible if you phone a taxi ahead of time to pick you up from the train station or city centre. Will definitely keep an eye on this little East Lothian Gem.
