GIN BLENDING MASTERCLASS

If you’re looking to discover how we make our award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin, as well as the chance to create your very own gin, then our Gin Blending Masterclass is an experience you won’t want to miss.

The class begins with a welcome Cotswolds Cloudy G&T on arrival, whilst your host will talk you through the history of gin and explain how this juniper flavoured spirit is made. You’ll then be taken on a tour of the distillery and shown around our research and development lab, where you’ll be getting up close and personal to our Holstein still, Valerie, whilst learning about the process of single pot distillation and how our Cotswolds Dry Gin was developed.

Then the real fun begins… Before blending your gin, you will nose and taste a variety of botanicals and distillates, ranging from fruity to spicy botanicals. You can mix the distillates as you wish, so you can be sure the final product will be your very own, personalised gin! Once you’ve mastered your recipe, your host will use their expert knowledge to help you create a unique perfect serve which you can sip on afterwards.

Before the evening draws to a close, you’ll learn how to make a Martini cocktail using your bespoke gin, and the rest will be bottled up to take away with you in a presentation box. We will also include a 20cl bottle of our Cotswolds Dry Gin so you can enjoy a Cloudy G&T at home. Our shop will be open afterwards if you’d like to explore the rest of our range of spirits.

Please note, a soft drink option will be made available for those not drinking. Over 18s only.

ABV: 46%
