What happens at a Gin Making Experience?
1
Introductions
Guests are greeted on arrival at Gin School with a gin and tonic. Our distillers give an introduction to gin and its ingredients, its history and folklore.
2
Botanicals
We explore a wide range of classic and unusual gin botanicals, and taste a selection of gins, before creating their personal gin recipe, with expert guidance.
3
Weights and Measures
Next it’s time for the budding gin makers to weigh the botanicals and load them into their individual copper alembic stills, while enjoying another drink.
4
Heads or Tails
Distillers guide guests through the skilled process of separating the “heads”, “hearts” and “tails” of their gin. Watching the distillate slowly drip into the bottle provides the opportunity to enjoy a third gin and tonic or cocktail.
5
TASTE AND BOTTLE
While guests enjoy their selected food and cocktail options, the gin teachers assist in diluting the distillate to proper strength and bottling the finished product. The concluding ‘blind tasting’ is always a popular test of the guests gin palattes!
6
Gin
Happy guests leave us after three hours, full of gin and newfound knowledge, and with a 500ml bottle of their own unique gin. A team photo commemorates the event and the special evening discount allows those last minute purchases…
