We also run gin experiences including our Spirit of Gin session where you will discover the fascinating history of gin, right back through the original styles of gin, to how gin has developed today. Includes 4 Gin and Tonics, plus samples. Our newly launched Master Distiller experience includes sampling different flavour profiles and choosing your favourite. We then provide you with a base receipe, which you may adapt, to create your very own bespoke bottle of gin to take home. The session finishes with G&Ts and information on how to create your perfect serve. Open sessions run Thursday - Sunday and private bookings available.
