I visited the amazing distillery from Travis, who created a real bijou. It is located next to a beautiful park and walking distance from the FC Porto stadium (Dragon stadium). The gin and rum I've tasted were fantastic. I'll be back 😊

It was an exceptional experience! The empathy with which I was received and the open way in which Travis shares his knowledge made us feel at home. The space is welcoming for lovers of gin and distilling. A space to return to whenever we are in Porto.

As a birthday treat we had a great time at INVICTA Gin school. Travis was brilliant giving great ideas to enable super gins for us both to produce. He was really helpful, knowledgable and extremely friendly. A lovely afternoon and very productive. Second to none experience. Fully recommend and we will be returning to make some more. Plus great Gins and Rum made here, just had to buy after extensive sample. Superb distillery in the heart of Porto.

This place is soooo worth your time. The Gin school which allows you craft your own Gin is an amazing way to spend your afternoon. So much fun and you go home with a craft Gin that you make yourself.The Gins that Travis makes are so good and his Rum? Amazing. Go try them. You won’t regret it. Travis has spent a lot of time perfecting his craft and it shows in all of his offerings.

Great place for handcrafted Gin and Rum in Porto. Travis has a great passion for good spirits and he‘s building something great there. I‘ve done a tasting of his Gin and Rum at the distillery.

Travis is officially Porto’s king of distillers.Wifey , baby Leon and I attended his Gin school on a typical rainy Porto day which soon to became a funny, interesting slightly tipsy and educational afternoon.We hands on crafted a unique Gin recipe with Travis’s guidance and distill it on the spot using tiny most adorable copper stills. Scoundrels recently became the official Gin brand of Porto’s soccer team and has a very interesting secret aged barrel Rum to hit the market soon. We left the still with two bottles of one of a kind self made Gin and baby Leon, AKA the cracker monster got his hands full of delicious crackers as well.Thanks Travis for a wonderful experience!

What a unique experience creating your own gin. They turned out delicious and both gins in completely different way (one more classic, another one more traditional). Fascinating how fast the flavour changes while distilling the gin. Thanks for having us.

WHAT AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!Few things are cooler in life than getting a peek under the hood of the distilling process. But designing and distilling your very own gin? It elevates that state of amazement to an entirely different level. ⁠⁠Travis led us through the process of designing a good gin. There were base recipes we could choose from and then add a personal *something something* to the mix. I headed straight for spicy and exotic, heavy on the ginger and cardamom. ⁠⁠Each student gets their own mini copper still, which is custom-built locally and quite charming. You feel a bit like a mad scientist dumping your carefully-measured ingredients into the ethanol mixture and waiting for the heads, heart and tails to run through the coil and into your beaker below. Diluting the mixture to hit that 42%ABV sweet spot was definitely a lesson in patience.⁠⁠Bebé Picante---my Spicy Baby creation---isn't awesome gin. But it's interesting. And will make a great martini. I'm good with that.⁠⁠The process of making something with your own hands is sheer joy. I think there's something inherent in all humans that makes us long to create meaningful things. Deep bows to Invicta Gin School for giving people the chance to learn and try and laugh and ask questions both stupid and important.
