Shetland Reel at Saxa Vord Distillery

(Translated by Google) We rang the doorbell on arrival as it was instructed. Someone opens us barely saying hello. He takes us to their showroom without telling us, then leaves us to go about his business. After 10 minutes of waiting, we try to find him. When we ask him to taste his gins because we want to buy some, he tells us that this is not done and only during the guided tours which are once a day. Since these are small islands that can be visited in one day, we didn't want to book a visit and waste time discovering the island. He didn't say goodbye to us and we left. Our worst experience for our 7th time in Scotland. (Original) Nous avons sonn la porte en arrivant comme il tait indiqu. Quelqu'un nous ouvre en nous disant peine bonjour. Il nous amne dans leur showroom sans rien nous dire puis nous abandonne pour vaquer ses occupations. Aprs 10 minutes d'attente, nous tentons de le retrouver. Quand nous lui demandons pour goter ses gins car nous voulons en acheter, il nous dit que cela ne se fait pas et seulement durant les visites guides qui sont une fois dans la journe. Vu que ce sont des petites les qui se visitent en un jour, nous ne voulions pas rserver une visite et perdre du temps dans notre dcouverte de l'le. Il ne nous a pas dit au revoir et nous sommes partis. Notre plus mauvaise exprience pour notre 7eme fois en cosse.

Wonderful tour. Aaron did an amazing job telling the story of the distillery and the various gins they have produced along the way. Highly recommended. Pro tip, book the tour in advance (at noon as of 2022) and then book a tea time at Victorias tea house for 2PM.

We were welcomed warmly and given chance to try before we buy with some advice when needed

Not only is this the best gin I've ever had the pleasure to sample but the folks who work here are absolutely delightful! The tasting and tour are enjoyable and fun. The ability to buy gin that you can't purchase anywhere else is just a bonus!!
