Was given tasting kit and tour for Christmas. Brilliantly well presented live on Zoom, great hosts, showed you how to make Bramble cocktail and several other drinks from the miniatures provided in pack (Vodka, sloe Gin, Marmalade Gin, Pink Grapefruit and GB Gin, two bottles of Fevertree tonic) and gave guided tour and talk. Great for a party and fun interaction - done really well during COVID lockdown and much needed relief!

Reviewed By AandJKing - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom

Like many previous reviewers, I received the Gin School Experience as a birthday present. I booked my day online and was very pleasantly surprised to discover that I was the only person in the class on my chosen day. For me, perfect. David, the “Instructor” was fantastic. He led me through the world’s relationship with Juniper, the sociology and history of Gin, the huge array of possible Botanicals, and the actual distilling process with consummate ease. With a short break for a sustaining buffet lunch we got down to the business of gin making and, as we waited for my distillate to drip from the individual copper still, David revealed an unexpected further love ( and knowledge) of the works of Robert Burns...Britain’s greatest ever poet.... Anyway, this return to School was the highlight of this, or any, year and I thoroughly recommend the experience to any gin lover OR amateur chef, who understands flavour combinations. The lesson includes the “tasting” of three superb craft gins, with the option of adding tonic!! Thank you, David, Andrea and Kyle, for delivering a cracking day and thank you, Tony and Wilma, for the best birthday present ever.

Reviewed By GlamTourist - South West England, United Kingdom

An incredible ‘experience’ making our own Gin! Welcomed from the start with a Salcombe gin, very knowledgeable distillers helped with finding botanicals and more Salcombe Gin in the middle as well as at the end made the whole gin making experience brilliant! Plus we ended up with a bottle of our own made VERY drinkable gin. Can’t recommend highly enough!
