I visited the Distillery with my fellow Steampunks from Great Kentspectations on 5th February 2022. We ALL had such a fantastic time! It was fascinating to learn the history of Maidstone Gin and how the spirits are made and produced on site in the Distillery. All the staff were lovely, welcoming and beyond helpful during the tour AND all the prior emails and calls to make the 21 person booking. Plus the Gin and Drinks were DELICOUS! Brilliant Value for money and a must for Gin lovers! On a personal note as a wheelchair user the facilities were brilliant. The entire tour is wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate plus the accessible toilet onsite was a prime example of how every accessible toilet should look like and function whereas SO many other venues claim to have such facilities but don't actually deliver. Thank you so so much to Sam, Amanda and everyone at the Distillery who made our...
   Read moreWe went to the Maidstone Gin Distillery a few weekends ago for our friend's 40th.
I personally have mainly been on beer and whisky tours, so it was great to hear the history of gin and Maidstone (another part of Kent to where we are all from).
We had two ladies who looked after us for the session. I can't remember the first ladies name but she was very helpful but Naomi did the 2nd part of our tour.

   Read moreI booked up the Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience for 10 friends recently. The cozy bar area was really buzzing when we arrived. We were all impressed with the sophisticated and stylish tasting room and the enthusiasm of Bren, our knowledgeable tour guide. The gin tasting was well done with everyone, even the non-gin drinking members of our group, getting involved with sampling the smells and tastes of the many special ingredients that go into making and distilling gin. The evening was very informative and by incorporating the history of gin and it's connection to Maidstone it made the talk really enjoyable. I must thank Lucie for suggesting the Maidstone Distillery to me and I heartily recommend purchasing the Sharp's Toffee Liqueur, delicious! I can recommend the delicious Mojito that we tried and don't leave without purchasing the fabulous Sharp's Toffee...
