    Bacardi set to reopen British distilleries to visitors

    Bombay Sapphire Distillery at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire

    Bacardi said it will reopen its British distilleries to the public on 20 July back for a socially-distanced experience.

    Both the Bombay Sapphire Distillery at Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire and the Dewar’s Distillery in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland have adapted health and safety measures to welcome guests back after four months.

    “The health and safety of our visitors and staff are always our number one priority so we’ve been stringent about introducing new measures and procedures throughout the site to promote this,” said Anne Brock, Bombay Sapphire master distiller.

    Visitors to both destinations can once again enjoy whisky tastings and gin cocktail masterclasses as well as guided tours, now operating at a reduced capacity.

    The safety measures include Perspex screens at till points, hand sanitisation stations, reduced door touchpoints, temperature checks on arrival and mandatory facemasks.

    A video explaining the new social distancing and safety measures in place at both distilleries can be found on the Bombay Sapphire Laverstoke Distillery and Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery websites.
