Violet was great! Enjoyed hearing about the history behind the characters the rums were based off. The tour lasted 30 mins and after the tour we were able to try any other gins/ liquors that we were interested in.
Expedition Yorkshire is a top-notch organization. My mother and I took two tours with Richard, who hails from the region and is incredibly knowledgeable.
