If you are a fan of gin distillery tours, here’s one you won’t want to miss. The Boatyard Gin Distillery is a gem of a place near Enniskillen on the opposite side of the lough from Rossclare Lodge. In fact, if you were a really excellent swimmer you could possibly swim across the lough to reach it. It’s almost opposite, with an island or two in between! This wonderful little distillery is more than just a place that produces exquisite gin; it’s an experience of craftsmanship, dedication and vision and the tour is great fun as well as being really informative.
The location itself is just marvellous, right on the banks of the lough with splendiferous views, whatever the weather. So, when you’re not tasting the gin and listening to the guide, you can gaze across the water (and imagine that swim!) The Boatyard offers a gin distillery tour you won’t forget in a hurry.
Tasteful tasting room
The tasting room is a sensory delight, with a super-duper bar, tastefully done to exhibit your drinks in a tantalising way as you progress from a simple but delicious gin and tonic, through a tasting section and onto a delicious cocktail or maybe a hot toddy, depending on the time of year. We’ve been on this gin distillery tour twice now, taking friends and family both times and there’s always a new story to hear and a new gin to sample. And the joy of labelling your own bottle to take home is probably enhanced by the tipples you’ve enjoyed, but it’s a joy nonetheless!
Tickle your palate
Each carefully crafted gin tells a unique story, with flavours that dance across your palate. From the zesty citrus notes of their classic gin to the depths of the Old Tom and the fruit of the Sloe gin, every sip is a journey of discovery. And the guide is so knowledgeable and entertaining that you won’t ever want to leave. As far as gin distillery tours go, this ranks in our top three. It’s perfect for all gin lovers or those who want to try something different.
Whether you’re a gin connoisseur or a curious traveller, the Boatyard Gin Distillery is a delightful destination and an excellent way to spend a couple of hours during your stay with us. So, raise your glass, savour the flavours, and immerse yourself in the magic of this small, but perfectly formed gin distillery on the shores of Lough Erne. We’re happy to book your tour for you, drop you off and book a taxi back for you so that you can indulge yourself completely.
