Relax and make yourself at home in our Scottish island distillery. Our tour begins with a welcome drink, a refreshing gin and tonic, made with our signature gin, Nostalgin. Nostalgin celebrates the strong emotional connection and nostalgia Millport holds in so many people’s hearts, especially those who spent their childhood summers on the island in the 50’s and 60’s. The main botanicals of lavender, bramble and orange combine to capture the feeling of relaxation and calm that people experience on the 8-minute ferry ride to the island.
During our one-hour tour, we will tell you about our story; how 5 strangers met in a bar and ended up opening a gin distillery on a small Scottish island! We will introduce you to the history of distilling, which is packed with interesting facts and colourful characters. During our time together we will also tell you about the fascinating history of Millport and its important role in the smuggling history of the Clyde.
Our tour concludes with a sample of our other 3 Millport gins.
Alcohol will only be served to guests 18 and over. If you are lucky enough to look under 25, you will be subject to an age check on arrival at the Distillery, so please bring photo identification (“ID”) with you. In the event that you are unable to produce valid photo ID, you will not be served alcohol as part of the tour and we regret that no refunds can be given.
Our tour fee of £25 includes a welcome gin and tonic, four gin tastings and a souvenir tasting glass for you to take home with you.
Our tours and tastings are not suitable for young children; older children are welcome as paid guests at the discretion of parents but should be aware this is an historical tour.
We love dogs! However, our tours take place in our small working distillery and due to environmental health standards, we are not able to accommodate dogs in the tour area. Dogs are welcome in our front shop.
