Looking to buy some Ampersand Gin (I've had it before), I made a call to the Distillery and on short notice, we were welcomed in after the drive up from Duncan. We had a great visit with a tour of the whole process. This is a fantastic gin! I picked up 2 bottles and I'll definitely be back for more next time we're in Duncan. Well worth searching this one out. Excellent product and a great outfit.
