Great Glen Distillery - Scotlands Smallest Craft Distillery - Inverness

This is such a lovely gin distillery, tiny but full of charm, and they are ready to answer all your questions about the gin! As well as providing a tasting off all the different gins they produce. An extra point has to be given for the cute illustrations, done by a local artist, used for the Caledonian Canal and The Inverness gin.

22nd Sept 25 - please think twice before spending your money here. I wanted to buy some gin and saw that this distillery were offering free gin tastings. So I went in and saw tiny taster cups laid out with various gins. Nowhere did it say that I couldn't help myself. So I went to pour a taster and the lady shouted at me. I was very upset at her tone and when I asked her not to speak to me like that she said "would you go into somebody's house and help yourself?". She was very rude and wanted to pick a fight. She obviously loved an audience and when we said she wasn't a good advert for the Scottish Tourist Board, she said "report me then". Please do not spend your money here and give it to somebody who cares about their customers.

Great Glen Distillery is a hidden gem and a must-visit for gin enthusiasts and anyone interested in craft distilling. As Scotland’s smallest craft distillery, it offers an intimate and unique experience that sets it apart from larger distilleries.

There was a free entry/ tour when me and my wife visited (July-2024). I am not sure if the entry is always free. Nevertheless it is worth the visit.

The tour was fantastic, providing a detailed look at the distillation process and the craftsmanship involved in creating their exceptional spirits. The passion and dedication of the team were evident, and their enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable.

The tasting session was a highlight, featuring a selection of their finest products. Each spirit had its own distinct character, reflecting the care and expertise that go into their production. The opportunity to sample these unique gins and learn about their origins was truly memorable.

When passing for Loch Ness center, Urquart Castle or for other reasons, make sure to take 30 minutes time to visit this smallest Scottisch Gin Distillery. We were warmly welcomed & the small tour was informative. You can really feel the passion & craftmanship that went into this Distillery. It is possible to taste the unique gins before drinking a Gin & Tonic on their terrace. That way, you are sure you're taking your favorite bottle home!
