Gin School

Ever wanted to try your hand at being a distiller and creating your own gin? Based in our bar, Gin School will allow you to do just that. 

 

At Oriental Distilling Co. Education, individuality and an exciting journey through the endless world of Gin is what we are all about. 

 
 

Upon your arrival, we'll greet you at the Distillery Bar with our signature Butterfly Gin & Tonic, where you will join a group of other gin lovers looking over our distilling apparatus, botanicals and Gin collection. 

 

After exchanging pleasantries our head distiller will introduce you to the equipment and the amazing array of botanicals you can choose from, picking out the ones you like best for your gin. Our friendly distiller will advise you on the quantities required for your own well balanced Gin recipe for maximum flavour and harmony.  You will use your specially imported full copper mini-still to carry out your distillation. 

You can even bring along your own botanicals to put that extra special personal touch to your creations (Botanical safety and quality will be checked prior to usage).

You will be encouraged to take notes on recipe development incase you wish to revisit the recipe and flavour in the future. You will also learn about the distillation process whilst you enjoy your Gin & Tonic and we'll encourage you to taste your gin as it distils and your botanicals release their delicious flavours stage by stage.

 

We'll talk to you about the history and characteristics of gin, and you'll hear about the Oriental Distilling co. brand and path to success. You'll have plenty of time to try our gins, wether they are own brand or our partner brands. 

 

Finally, you'll bottle, name and label your unique gin before sealing with a heat shrink. 

Now it's time to wander up to our Distillery Bar and chat through your experience with your new friends. You'll get VIP exclusivity and discounts on any purchases made, be they bottles, cocktails or shots.

 

We understand that you cannot wait to share your gin around, but rest assured ageing your lovely gin for a few weeks will homogenise the flavours a lot more and improve the overall mouth-feel as the flavour compounds blend together.

 

Don’t forget to take graduation photos before you leave Gin School! 

You can also rest assured that once you have finished enjoying your gin, you can buy another bottle - just order online and our distiller will recreate your recipe and deliver a new bottle of your gin, straight to your door.
