I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Ambleside Distillers recently, and I must say, I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. Gin had never been my drink of choice, and my last encounter with it was over two decades ago. However, after experiencing their gin flight, I can wholeheartedly say that Ambleside Distillers has completely won me over, especially with their No. 8 and Small Acre varieties.
The moment we walked into Ambleside, I was struck by the vibrant atmosphere. Our group was quite large, and the staff had set the table for us perfectly. It was evident that they paid great attention to detail, making our visit even more enjoyable.
The highlight of the visit, of course, was the gin flight. The No. 8 and Small Acre gins were nothing short of exceptional to me. The flavors were complex and beautifully balanced, and I was pleasantly surprised to find myself not only enjoying the taste but also appreciating the craftsmanship that went into creating these spirits.
Throughout our visit, the staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. They were happy to answer our questions and share their expertise, adding a layer of depth to the experience.
And speaking of adding layers, if you're a fan of Martini cocktails and like it "dirty," you absolutely must try the "Charlie Sheen dirty" twist – it's a memorable and unique touch that adds some extra fun to your evening.
All in all, my visit to Ambleside Distillers was a delightful and memorable experience. It completely changed my perception of gin, and I left with a newfound appreciation for this spirit, thanks to the outstanding No. 8 and Small Acre varieties. If you're in the area or even remotely interested in gin, I highly recommend making a visit to Ambleside Distillers. You won't be disappointed, and you might just discover a new favorite drink, as I did. Cheers to Ambleside and their team for making our afternoon so special!
