Have you visited The Hooting Owl Distillery?π¦ Yorkshires premier, award winning, artisan spirits distiller & winner of multiple Great Taste awards.
Situated on Rougier Street just a short walk from York train station, within the Bar Walls of one of the most historic and beautiful cities in the world.
Every drop of Hooting Owl gin, rum & vodka is distilled here. Their distillery tour starts with a warm welcome followed by a generous Hooting Owl Signature gin. Youβll tour the distillery, learning about the distillation process and what makes Hooting Owl so special. A light-hearted, fun-packed adventure that youβll never forget.
Master Distiller, storyteller and founder of Hooting Owl, Dom, will take you on a fun-filled gin adventure, known as the βTour de Yorkshireβ. Youβll discover the journey taken many years ago by Sir Owlfred Tyton Hodgins (The infamous Hooting Owl) when he created his discerning recipes. Thereβll be insights into the origins of the brand with a few eyebrow-raising stories thrown in for good measure.
Then into the lounge bar to taste 4 more world-class gins whilst gaining an understanding of how the botanicals influence the flavours and, most importantly, how to maximise your next gin! All this wrapped up in a Hooting Owl tale.
The tour will finish with another full measure of your choice from The Hooting Owl range. No worries if gin isnβt your tipple of choice as they also distil a selection of vodkas and rums which you can sample instead.
Once your tour is complete, youβre welcome to stay and soak up the atmosphere. The lounge bar is open from 12pm to 11pm 7 days a week.π¦
