Tasting was fun and informative. The owner needed to switch the time of our tour to accommodate a larger group, but he gave us several days advanced notice to decide if we could make the switch to avoid a cancellation fee which we appreciated. This tour is an easy 25 minute walk from the cruise port, fyi.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
So pleased you were able to switch times, and whilst we were very busy that day hope you enjoyed yourselves and left with fond memories.

Great experience with lots of opportunity to ask questions & taste several varieties of gin! Time was spent explaining the evolution of the gin/ alcohol development.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks Susan we really enjoy spreading the word about the history of Gin, and getting everyone to develop their own taste preferences.
Darlene_N, Oct 2025
The Operator kindly changed my booking date by two days to accommodate my not feeling well. Hence I upped review to 3 stars.
I arrived early, bought a small bottle 2 pack for next week use when continuing my travels. While the in house Gin was lovely, the presenter was rude to me! After being seated, I saw the Gin timeline banner & saw a Smirnoff Vodka in the Gin banner. Surprised I simply asked why was the Vodka in the gin timeline. The presenter had not started her spiel yet! SHE INSULTED ME BY SAYING TO THE FOUR OTHER GUESTS THAT “THERE IS ONE IN EVERY CROWD ETC” & WENT ON & DEMEANING & INSULTING ME! I tried not to cry & kept my mouth shut until the very end. The Wonderful Gin brought some comfort to me. A day later I am still upset
She then started after conversing to her friend Jackie, who was the fifth person to join our tasting, with her hurtful remarks about
me. Needless to say I & no other paying customer said another word until the presenter lady was finished….but Jackie, the friend, asked many questions & got clarifications - Thank God she could speak but no one else could!
1. What does “One in every crowd” mean in reference to me asking a question - I am a polite senior female.
2. Thank you, Jackie (the presenter’s friend) for asking questions
3. Thank you to Operator/Owner for changing my reservation by two days
4. Finally. Why is the Smirnoff Vodka in the 1960 Gin timeline? NOT ANSWERED PROPERLY AS THE PRESENTER SAID SHE WOULD ADDRESS LATER WHILE ADMONISHING ME!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We are so sorry you did not get your questions answered as we love filling in any gaps we can.
We are also very sad you felt so isolated, in what is usually such a wonderful way to make new friendships.
Lesley will be so upset when she sees your review, as she prides herself on making everyone welcome.
The Smirnoff bottle was there to explain how the popularity of Gin faded in the 1960/70/80 when Diageo did a world wide advertising campaign and even got James Bond to invent the Vodka Martini. Cleverly they then launched Bombay Sapphire after many Gin companies closed as cool people had switched to Vodka and tonic in the 80’s.
Please fell free to ask any other questions about Gin and Gibraltar. We are pleased you at least liked the Gin.
Kevin_K, Sep 2025
What a lovely way to spend some time learning about the history of Gin, Gibraltar and so much more. Some great insights provided as we walked through time and how Gin has evolved. Some wonderful conversation with fellow participants made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
So pleased you enjoyed your visit, please come back again soon.
Robert_B, Aug 2025
Informative relaxed atmosphere, enjoyable tasting with the history of gin and look forward to seeing the gin bottles in supermarkets
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We too are excited that a border deal will soon mean ee can ship to the world, thanks for the kind words.
Shanta_A, Jul 2025
A very interesting and enjoyable experience. Lesley gave us a knowledgeable overview of the history of gin with lots of amazing facts and lots of gin tasting. Really enjoyed it and would recommend to others. Bought a lovely box set at the airport to bring home.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We are pleased you had such a good time with Lesley, and appreciate your kind words, everyone in the "Spirit of the Rock team" thanks you for your support.
B_V, Jul 2025
This was so much more than a tasting, it’s a walk through of the history of gin! So much fun if you’re a fan of gin!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We have even had people who hated gin and history tell us was amazing!!
Richard_H, Jul 2025
Peter gives an amazing history on gin with each tasting and Helen makes the best Joan Collins cocktail at the end. Learned so much. Well worth the price and it is an small setting so you will not be fighting the herds. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Quite right Richard it pays to book early! Thanks for the great review.
Jason_S, Jun 2025
This was a wonderful experience. Thoroughly recommend. Host was knowledgeable and generous with the gin.

Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you Minna, we enjoyed meeting you and sharing our love of all things to do with Juniper spirits.
Beth_L, Dec 2024
We had fun learning the fascinating history of gin, tasting along the way. Peter dived into the most interesting and amusing facts about the origin of the spirit and how its production has changed over centuries. The afternoon was equally entertaining and informative.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
HI Beth, It was a pleasure to share some interesting tastes and random facts with you, and we are very pleased you were amused to boot!
Matt_P, Aug 2024
Plenty to taste with some real good information on the history of Gin. A welcoming host who clearly knew all about Gin.
Carmine_S, Jun 2024
Learning about the whole process of gin making
And the tasting the different types gin of course
It would have been more enjoyable however if there were samples of tonics to try with the gin after tasting it neat
I think this would be a more persuasive way of converting people to become gin drinkers
Ian_C, Apr 2024
It was a great visit. I actually screwed up by attendng a week earlier than my ticket. Somehow I seem to have screwed up my booking.
Had a one to one event and bought some nice stuff.
Will probably do a repeat next time I'm on Gibraltar.
Vladimira_P, Apr 2024
Leslie is an expert on gin history and makes an extraordinary Jc... but go easy on gin tasting, some of them are prety strong 🤣
Hardev_D, Jul 2023
A pleasant Gin tasting experience and lots of knowledge and history by Leslie. A lovely variety of gins to taste and a nice cocktail was made for us at the end. It would have been nice to have made the cocktail at the end with our favourite gin, but a nice experience overall
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Many thanks for the kind words, the cocktail was the one most folk fancy and was the Royal Navy favourite, a Joan Collins, made with Navy Strength Gin, but other options made with any of our 7 Gins are always available, just let us know what you fancy at the end of the Tour.
KEVIN_M, Jun 2023
Excellent host. Very knowledgeable about the history of gin. Linked gin tasting to the development of gin over the years. Good relaxed atmosphere and good value.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks Kevin always nice to get feedback, pleased you had a good time at The Gin Experience, please spread the word.
Laura_S, Feb 2023
Fantastic gin tasting, best I have ever done. The hour was rammed full of the history of gin coupled with examples of gin to demonstrate the historical facts. It really was very good and a brilliant start to an evening out.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
We are pleased you enjoyed yourselves, and then went on the have a fun evening out with the "new friends" from the Tour.
caroline_d, Dec 2022
Fantastic and fascinating. Had never thought about how gin came about so the history behind it was a lovely addition. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Also excellent gin I bought some at the airport for myself and gifts.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thanks for taking the "Spirit of the Rock" with you when you flew home. Pleased you enjoyed the Tour too.
Christine_W, Oct 2022
Very informative, small group which was just right , great guy we had a laugh as well , great start to our evening ………..
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Hi Christine, Glad you enjoyed the Experience, and as you say the perfect start to a memorable evening.
Billy_P, May 2022
Great way to spend an hour or so...learning about the evolution of, and tasting, some excellent gin. Their signature offering, Campion, is really something special. Wish I had bought more.
My only complaint is his historical "accuracy", particularly as regards US Prohibition. He stated it was primarily an anti-immigrant movement which grew out of the South. Prohibition was lead by Progressives and the Women's Christian Temperance Union...an organization formed in Ohio. The first state to pass Prohibition was Maine, and the Volsted Act (the actual enforcement laws) was authored by a Senator from Wisconsin.
Response from Host, May 2022
Hi, Thanks for the info about prohibition, we looked it up on the internet, but we all know how accurate that is! We will amend the Tour accordingly, so many thanks again, for the feedback. So happy you loved our Campion Gin, hope you had a great stay in Gibraltar.
Tim_R, Jan 2022
Don’t be fooled by Spanking Roger, Campion is the true Gibraltar Gin and it’s amazing!
A really in depth gin tour with visuals and plenty of tastings of gin through the ages with hints and tips on how to get the beat out of your gin drinking experience.
Peter was so very friendly and welcoming and as the tours are small and intimate it was like having a gin evening at home with friends.
Throughly recommend you try this for all gin buffs, even if you’ve done a tour before this is well worth the money and made a really fun afternoon.
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Great to meet you on our last Tour of 2021. Wishing you all the best for the coming year, and thank you for your kind words.
