“Harriet and I would like to thank you and your team at Henstone Distillery for hosting us on Saturday for the distillery tour. The presentation that you gave us was very inspiring full of wonderful stories which gave us a real insight into your journey.
Unsurprisingly the highlight of the day was the tasting of your award winning selection of spirits. It was very hard to say which I preferred most. Needless to say I fudged it as I bought a bottle of your ex bourbon cask whiskey and a bottle of your charcoal filtered vodka. Harriet purchased a bottle of the Rosé Gin and a bottle of Apple Brandy Nonpareil.
We look forward to tasting the various bottles with our friends and will share our experience with them as well.”

“Me and my friends would like to say a very big thank you to Henry for the tour on Saturday. Henry was very knowledgeable about all the products and the process. It was all very interesting for us and the time flew by. Most importantly (for us) it was fun! We just wanted to pass on how much we enjoyed it and will be telling our friends about it if they’re in the area. Thanks again”

“Wowsa what a great tour and taste hosted by Chris the owner, my wife booked it as a surprise, she knows me too well!, Chris provided an excellent insight on distilling in an A to z manner, we learned a lot despite being to other distilleries, the products are delightful to say the least, despite being a whiskey fan I have found vodka on Nother level and a couple of gins that it’s a sin to add mixers too, my wife Hels couldn’t agree more, back to the whiskey however, the range is fabulous and soon to be added to with different aged stock ( can’t wait), the single malt is classy, I like to ‘hunt’ down reviered whiskey recommended by noble tasters, I first learned of Henstone from Jim Murray whiskey bible (what a job he has 😉 ), I can’t believe these products are on our door as we live in Shrewsbury, but glad they are, the peared taint whiskey I found mild but delicious in its own right in other ways, I am a man that finds Ardberg tame however, so I’m hard to please re peat, please keep up the good work Chris and team, take care of Hilda, she does you proud. Ray and Hels. ….Ps a pic of a few pick ups from the day…“

“We had a fabulous tour of Henstone Distillery. Chris was passionate about the place and we had a fascinating afternoon learning about distilling and the different products they offer. The sampling was great fun too! Great location too. Can’t recommend this tour and their different products enough – their rosé gin has just won best British gin.“
