Discover more about Spirit of the Rock

Spirit of the Rock Distillery offers a unique and engaging experience for those seeking to explore Gibraltar's culture beyond the typical tourist attractions. Situated just a stone's throw from Main Street at 8 George's Lane, this micro-distillery provides an intimate look into the world of gin production. Founded in April 2019, Spirit of the Rock set out to showcase a different side of Gibraltar, moving away from its reputation for cheap alcohol and smuggling. Instead, they highlight the region's natural flora, particularly the Campion flower, which grows wild on the Rock and nowhere else on earth. This rare flower became the namesake of their signature Campion Gin, which was voted one of the best gins in the world at the 2020 World Gin Awards. During the Gibraltar Gin Experience, visitors will learn about the history of distilling and how gin is made. The tour also covers a timeline of Gibraltar's history and its connection to gin. Guests have the opportunity to taste six different gins crafted by the Spirit of the Rock team, designed to enhance their ability to discern the nuances of different gins. The experience concludes with a complimentary cocktail made with their own gin. Spirit of the Rock also offers personally tailored tours for special events, such as wedding parties or corporate clients. These bespoke experiences can include blending courses to create a unique gin or personalized bottle engraving.
