Spirits Class – Gin

Love it or hate it, gin is an integral part of the spirits world. Some praise this flavored spirit for its versatility and elegance while others call gin lovers “crazy” and say “It tastes like a pine tree.” Indeed, the one ingredient all gins must share does come from a coniferous plant, yet gin is so much more than this, especially in the modern world. With an endless list of potential botanical ingredients, gin has proved fertile ground for the imaginations of distillers around the world.

In this class you will taste a wide array of different gins and learn how botanical selection, processing techniques, and distilling methods create the panoply of flavors in them. Expect to taste gins that are familiar in profile and gins which stretch the definition of the spirit itself. Some of these gins will be very traditional; others will break new ground. Many use botanicals that reflect a sense of place while others choose botanicals to create a specific flavor idea. However they are made, these delicious gins are ready for your enjoyment and analysis.
