# Distill a bottle of Gin on mini copper stills

**Guidekin's take:** Design and distil your own bottle of gin on a mini copper still, tasting different spirit profiles as you learn. A gin and tonic, samples, a cocktail and your take-home bottle are included; the workshop is not recommended during pregnancy. 5 from 189 reviews at €107 per person for 3h.

## Overview

What makes this experience unique is the fact that it is a very hands on, bespoke, personal and very knowledgeable workshop like no other in the country.
