Gin Experiences

We have a great choice of gin themed delights – Spend an hour with us at our Gin Tasting as we sample our way through some of our favourite examples of this beloved spirit or get interactive with our Full Gin Experience upgrade as you learn about the science of taste before working on a unique blend to bottle & take home! Choose from our options below to tailor your experience just how you like it:

GIN TASTING

Take a trip through the fun, facts & history of the UK’s quintessential spirit and discover new Gin and mixer combos along the way.

We take you through a range of 5 different styles of gin to highlight key points in this beloved spirit’s history, we then elevate each gin with the addition of a paired mixer and fresh garnish to inspire your future G&T selections. You’re guaranteed to leave filled to the brim with gin knowledge!

THE FULL GIN EXPERIENCE

Want to take your gin journey to the next level? After you have finished the Gin Tasting, why not blend and craft your own gin recipe with The Full Gin Experience!

The next part of the 2 hour session begins as we delve into the chemistry of flavour by taking part in our interactive Science of Taste experiments to help you on your blending journey.
Armed with your knew knowledge, you’ll begin work on your unique gin blend, working with our array of distillates, from zesty citrus to the earthy pine notes of angelica. We’ll guide you through each step to ensure your 70cl bottle is packed with everything you like to create your perfect gin. Once we have recorded your recipe you can re-order it any time you like!

We also offer private bookings for groups of 8+ for all of our experiences, please use the enquiry form at the bottom of the page.

REVIEWS

Bought for a present for my girlfriend. We had a one to one session with a member of staff (Kirsty) and it was fantastic. We spent well over the hour they recommended discussing the gins and their history. A great experience!

My friend and I had the loveliest day at the Liquor Studio for the gin experience. John/Jon (not sure which) was so passionate about the history and science of gin. He had all of us laughing and made everything fun and interesting. We learned so much about gin and had so much fun tasting and making our own.

Bought this class for my wife's birthday and we both had a great time. Learning and drinking in equal measures what is not to love! The personalised bottle to take home is also a nice touch and memento of the day - highly recommended as a gift experience or group activity

I took my mother as a Christmas present to liquor studio to make our own gin. The decor is wonderful, lots of soft woods and a huge array of spirits and things to mix them with. The hosts were incredibly engaging and very friendly. With our lack of knowledge in all things gin, they made us feel at ease. It was very informative, never boring. We also got to taste plenty of gins along the way!
