Gin Distillery Tour

ReisendeGreat visit to a fifth generation LHI family member who has started his own gin distillery with botanicals located on the island. He also uses sea grapes which are a very unique and unusual additive to gin. He had a sizeable still which was made of copper and due to the size of it a considerable investment as well. He and his business partner had won some serious show awards for their gin range.
