Visit guide
Cotswolds Distillery
Whisky and gin in Stourton, Shipston-on-Stour, The Cotswolds
Is it worth visiting?
Worth it if you want to see whisky and gin production in England and can drive there: £30 for a 90-minute tour with the warehouse and a tasting is fair value. Whisky drinkers who want more should book the £100 Whisky Blending Masterclass, which includes a 400ml bottle of their own blend. Skip it if you are travelling with under-18s, who cannot join tours, or without a car.
