Destilaria Sharish Gin — Attraction in Reguengos de Monsaraz

What an amazing experience we've had visiting this distillery! There were no English speaking staff around, however a lovely woman from the reception did her best giving us a tour in a funny mix of English and Portuguese! We had so much fun trying to guess what would be the word in English, guessed names of botanicals and fruits and many more! She showed us around, then we have been invited to a room where the gin is bottled up, decorated and packed into boxes. It was my great pleasure to try bottling the gin and later on decorating the bottles with stickers etc. One of that bottles of limited edition Orange blossom Sharish gin I have made we are bringing home with us as a trophy. Later we ended up in their in house bar, where we have tried three different gins they had available at the moment - fantastic! I am telling you as a massive gin fan: it's not just another gin to try and forget! Sharish gins each has their own unique style, character, vibe. The distillery itself is cool. The staff seems to be very happy to work there. Their shop is great. Prices are cheap in comparison to other gins that are made fully automatic by machines. Here its three positive employees who are able to make up to 1.500 (!!!!!) bottles a day using three pairs of hands. Unbelievable, inspirational, respectable. A must visit for all gin lovers when in Portugal. We knew that Portugal is a wine country, now we have discovered it as a country that has great...

Went there for seeing the distillery and checking their gins. They have a very nice visitors area and I was allowed to check 4 of their gins with tonic for 15€. I was told these would be half G&Ts but the glasses we're pretty full and I was smashed 20 minutes later. While getting drunk they explained their botanicals and gins to me. All 4 gins were really great and I took home their aged Laurinius Gin for my collection, but I can totally recommend their other gins as well. We didn't take the tour, but I'm sure that would have been...

Depois da experiencia de hoje ao qual o meu amigo fez aqui o comentário do que se tinha passado na distilaria, ao qual nao ia comentar, mas depois de ver a resposta da pessoa que se identifica como Proprietário da distilaria Sharish, vejo que afinal os empregados aprendem com o patrão... a ser arrogantes. Em primeiro lugar, quando se fala em videovigilancia, fala-se em ver o que se passou e nao em ouvir... dessa forma o Sr proprietário ouviu o que lhe contaram, nao estava presente. Em segundo lugar ninguem entrou a exigir nada, eu entrei e disse com toda a educação se nos podiamos juntar ao grupo e provar o gin. Aonde fomos completamente mal atendidos... se voltar á sua videovigilancia vai ver ao entrarmos eu a tentar por 2 vezes falar com o Sr. Tiago, e vai ver o meu amigo atras de mim a meter-se na conversa por estar a ser mal tratado. Dessa forma o erro nao foi nosso, nós fomos á sua casa, visita-la, fomos deixar-lhe dinheiro, é de sua obrigação pedir desculpa pelo sucedido, nao responder aqui ainda com arrogância. Em 3 lugar em altura nenhum foi sugerido uma visita no dia seguinte, eu é que disse ao Sr Tiago para nos servir, porque passamos ali para visitar o espaço e ja estamos a caminho de Lisboa. Em 4 lugar seja numa destilaria seja numa lavandaria, ou padaria, nunca sabemos quem está a entrar pela porta, desse forma temos de receber os clientes de igual modo, nao é por estar quase a fechar e esta calor que nao podemos receber bem as pessoas. Da sua parte Sr proprietário, deveria estar mais presente e so dar a sua opiniao se ouvir ambas...
