Anyway, the pics

The smaller sherry casks containing the spirit
The tour starts off with a DVD about the distillery, followed by a tour round the stills and how they all work, a look at the underneath of the stills, and a look/taste of the spirit being casked up. Since it is a small distillery and they are only making spirit 3 days out of the week, it is a relatively quick tour (1 hour) and you may not always get a chance to see the stills working - but it is still interesting to see them empty when you have a look inside. The cost of the tour is £4.75, including a taste of the spirit and the flavoured spirits they make (5 in total) which is pretty reasonable.
Since the first spirit was only put into casks in December 2006, the wasn't any of the finished article to try (it will be ready in December '09 to comply with the 3 years maturing rule) but we got to sample the distilled spirit before it went into the barrels - it was a peated version that they are doing a limited run of, around 65-70% abv at the time, but it still tasted pretty nice (I'm only a whisky amateur so can't give you proper notes
)They sell fruit and cream versions of their spirit in their shop which was nice, as well as around 180 different other whiskies from around the world, along with other merchandise such as glasses/clothing/food etc
Anyway, hope this was of some interest to you, it is a very small distillery (in fact the stills are the smallest you can buy for a distillery, otherwise customs & excise think you are buying them for home use apparently
) but it's worth a visit if you are in the area, if only to say you have visited the only whisky distillery in England
