Founder’s Tour

From the Toad website:

Hosted by one of our three founders this tour gives a unique insight into our journey from conception all the way to bottle! We will spend time on how we source our ingredients and the work that goes into making our vodka, gin, absinthe and rye whiskey. After this in-depth tour, we will host an extended tasting session, taking you through all our different spirits and finishing with a large gin and tonic.
