Product Information

This Christmas is obviously looking far different to previous years and we may not be able to do the in-person tours to the same extent we have previously. The whole hospitality supply chain has been so disrupted this year so I’d really encourage people to support their local bars, restaurants, and manufacturers. Whether you buy a voucher for a distillery tour next year, a bottle of gin for your Secret Santa, we’re always here to tell you what we love about it - we’re more active on social media than ever before and have found that a great way to interact with people!” City of Manchester Distillery

On arrival, guests will receive a welcome drink and can choose from vodka, rum, or gin, before starting their tour of the distillery.
