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 Distilleryand Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillerywebsites.

Tractors descend on Westminster as farmers protest begins

Thousands of British farmers today (19) are set to march to Parliament Square to protest against the end of an inheritance tax exemption that has helped family farms pass down the generations, saying the move will threaten food production.

First unveiled in chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Budget, the plans to impose inheritance tax on farms worth more than £1m have sparked fury among rural communities, who have contested the government’s assertion that small family farms will not be impacted by the changes.
