About This Tour
In this tutored gin tasting, led by the Head Distiller, you’ll have the opportunity taste the traditional gin botanicals (Juniper, Coriander, Angelica, Orris) as single distillates, training your palette to the individual flavours that make gin…gin. This is an essential skill for any gin connoisseur! Sample the range of small batch Aberdeen Gin expressions (London Dry and Fruit gins). Challenge yourself with the mystery single distillate – will you be the first to guess the botanical? The event concludes with a G&T of your choice – choose any gin from the range or perhaps one of the single distillates you’ve enjoyed during the event. All of the distillates / gins have been crafted using premium organic alcohol – luxuriously smooth. Once you’ve finished the tasting you’ll gain the ability to recognise the flavours that make up gin. Take this knowledge home, explore your gin shelves and enjoy your very own tasting with the skills you’ve learned during this Gin Tasting Masterclass.
