Gin: the time is now

Expert gin tastings straight up or with a twist
(just how you like it)


The huge variety of gins now on the market means that there is something for everyone and discovering your favourites is a wonderful experience. Our customised gin tasting sessions are ideal for corporate or private events.

Our secret is we will tailor the event to suit YOUR requirements. This can range from small intimate groups of up to 10 people to large audiences of over 1000! Gin tastings are an ideal way of providing corporate entertainment before or after an event, or for private parties looking for something different. We come to your location, or book one on your behalf and provide everything required: glasses, gin, mixers and an entertaining presentation on gin, the different types, its history etc. We also provide a malt whisky tasting service and are happy to mix and match both great drinks.

A whole new generation of gins are now available with something to suit everyone.

The careful use of botanicals means the tastes can range from fruity through to spicy with everything in between! We will select 4 or 5 different varieties and provide the appropriate mixers for your enjoyment. The tasting promises to liven up any event you are having no matter how small or large, intimate or public.

About Us


We have evolved from running successful malt whisky tasting events: whiskytastings.co.uk

Many of our clients however have been asking if we can provide the same format but for gin. Whisky is great for stag nights but gin might be preferred for hen nights! Of course we are happy to provide to you our experience in both whisky and gin if required. The explosion of a new generation of gins means there is a now a dazzling, and sometimes confusing, choice to pick from.

We will select 4 or 5 on your behalf with quite different characteristics to allow you to enjoy the full variety of flavours on offer. It’s a great adventure finding your favourites!

FAQs



How much does it cost?






Do you need to know about gin?




Where are the events held?





How long will the event last?




Is there a minimum or maximum number of guests?



The price quoted will depend on 2 items: your location, and the number of guests. For location, we will minimise travel costs as much as possible but we do have precious cargo to carry! For the number of guests, the cost per head is lower, the larger the group. The price quoted is fully inclusive of travel, gin, mixers etc. We will do our best to fit within your budget and we have successfully done that for parties from as little as one to as many as 2000!



NO! The event provides entertainment as well as providing you with a working knowledge of this exotic drink. Most of our tastings are to complete novices who are simply looking to pass an enjoyable hour or two, sample something new, learn a little but above all enjoy the occasion.



Either in your location or one we book on your behalf. Tastings are hosted throughout the country. We also travel overseas if required; gin travels well and so do we!



Normally we would allocate around 20 minutes to the presentation which is a mixture of humour, history and how best to enjoy your gin. This is followed by the tasting of 4 or more gin cocktails. We use different botanicals to give a variety of tastes and experiences. We will fit in with your timeframes.



No. We have hosted events with around 10 people to large audiences of over 1000.
