Tasting 12 – BOTTLE MARKET

It’s always Gin o’clock somewhere!

Saturday, 18 Nov. 2023 6:30 pm

Gintime with Jane, gin influencer on Instagram

Winston Churchill was a fan and Queen Mum, never went to bed without one – gin & tonic. Quintessentially British, you might think. However, gin actually has its roots in the Dutch juniper schnapps Genever, but is produced all over the world. Juniper is what gives gin its typical flavour and, in recent years, a variety of exotic botanicals have been added, giving Genever a real renaissance. This tasting will also show you how much a gin benefits from the right tonic.
