Ginspirational!
At the Devon Gin School we offer you a hands-on immersive experience into the world of gin production. We will give you the opportunity to learn about the diverse styles of gin, explore a variety of different botanicals and see behind the science of distillation. You will even be able to personalise your bottle of gin by designing your own label. All of this whilst sipping on a G&T or two!
What we do:
- You will receive a welcome gin while our lead distiller takes you on a gin tasting and a little history of the spirit
- Our lead distiller will guide you through various botanicals, spices and flavours as you start to build your gin profile.
- Learn about the science behind the distilling, load your still and let it run.
- Whilst your gin is distilling sip on another G&T and design your own personalised label.
- Mix down your gin and find out how strong it is, then you can add your personalised label to the bottle.
- Take away your 35cl bottle of gin in a jute bag and discover your perfect serve!
