THE NEVER SAY DIE EXPERIENCE

Sixty minutes, four rooms and the whole story, from a foal saved by a shot of Bourbon to the still where we make our New World Gin.

  1. The 1954 Epsom Derby, with Never Say Die clear of the field
    Stop 1

    The Library

    A 1950s-style British library where the tale unfolds, from the racehorse's improbable beginnings to the founding of the brand.

  2. A bottle of Never Say Die on a wooden tasting table, set with glasses
    Stop 2

    The Tasting Room

    Finished in limestone and oak, with a tasting table shaped like a racetrack. Taste the core Never Say Die range.

  3. A Never Say Die barrel head, stenciled with the NSD mark and the horse
    Stop 3

    The Barrel Room

    Styled on a traditional Kentucky rickhouse. Taste Double Ocean straight from the barrel, then bottle your own.

  4. Sight glasses along a still column, in black and white
    Stop 4

    The Still Room

    Where we make our New World Gin, with the boldness of the brand and a nod to our British roots. Learn how it’s made, then taste a sample.
