Guided gin tasting at an independent distillery in Bristol

Embark on a journey of independent distilling with an informal, guided gin tasting nestled in the heart of Bristol. The experience begins as soon as you step through the door, with a freshly prepared, exquisitely garnished craft gin and tonic. With a drink in hand, you'll be ushered into the atmospheric tasting space to delve into the rich, occasionally boisterous history of gin, the narrative behind the independent distillery, and the contemporary art of spirit production.Throughout the session, you'll have the opportunity to sample five outstanding seasonal gins, all distilled and produced on-site. Each serving showcases a distinct flavour profile and distilling style—from sharp, traditional botanicals to modern, lively infusions. As you savour each taste, the veil will be lifted on the production methods, revealing how the botanicals are sourced and the meticulous techniques employed to distil, infuse, and refine these award-winning spirits.This is not a rigid or formal masterclass but rather a relaxed and sociable experience. It's designed to give you ample time to sip, inquire, and converse. A variety of premium tonic waters and mixers are provided at your table, allowing you to experiment and savour each sample exactly to your liking. Whether you're a devoted gin connoisseur, an intrigued novice, or simply seeking an authentic Bristol night out, this tasting provides the ideal insight into the world of gin.
