Great afternoon spent at the ELLC, our host Rose was fab, with just enough information and humour to keep us all interested. Oh and the Gin was great too.

Informative and enjoyable
I waited a year (and had to extend my voucher)to finally get a time we could both go, but it was a fun time, the experience was very interesting, just enough education combined with interesting fun facts (the ones you usually remember) about history of gin making and the logistics of it. Fascinating tasting afterwards which really surprised me regarding vastly different flavours.

Interesting and Fun
We arrived a little early and enjoyed a quick G&T and some nibbles at the lovely bar. All great and very good value. 2 parts to the tour really. 1st a visit behind the bar area to see the stills and hear how the gin is made. Whilst drinking another G&T. Our guide made it very interesting. 2nd part down the stairs to the tasting room. we tasted 6 gins. The three made here pluse three more from around the world. Also got to sniff some botanicals. Really enjoyed this. Great guide and tour.

Hidden gem
The East London Liquor Company is truly a hidden gem. This tour is informative, fun and lasts 90 minutes run by a brilliant guide. A tip is eating in the restaurant after the tour - wonderful food. A belated Xmas present but one of the best ideas.

Let the fun BeGin
Absolutely fantastic. This small distillery was perfect. I was bought the Spirit of Gin and Tasting voucher. I was not disappointed. Alex was very knowledgeable and funny. Floral was brilliant and didn't let on until the end that it was the first tasting session she had led. Well worth the trip. The staff were great and the bar very atmospheric. Would recommend.

Price
Very informative and well presented. By the time the tasting finished I had enough of the taste of alcohol but still craved a Gin & tonic. Maybe the gin could be watered down a little without loosing its taste as this would make the experience more enjoyable. I think vodka should be drunk neat but not Gin

would I buy the experience for friends ? no sadly
We went for a meal in the Brasserie (wouldn't call it as resturant). The food was ok, the menu read better than the taste. One of the items on the menu was barbequed rib of beef. It was as tough as old boots, lacked flavour and cost I believe £14. The staff were nice. There are better gin tasting experiences so would I recommend it ,? it would have o be no. If they improve the all round experience hen may try it again as a gift for someone else.
