Have you ever discovered how gin is distilled? Or ever made your own gin?
Myself and my good friend Martha participated in a Gin school lesson with Salcombe Gin in South Devon.
We were taught how the gin was distilled and developed our own gin in a beautiful mini copper still. We were able to choose from the extensive range of citrus, herbal, floral and spice botanicals to create our own recipe for a flavoursome gin. Which we named Girl's Getaway having created a fruity summery flavoured gin whilst having a girls weekend in Devon.
It was so interesting learning the process of the gin distilling and the different flavours that compliment each other, along with the certain tonics that would match the variety of gins. I hope to use the knowledge I learnt in creating my own Gin cocktails and speciality Gin and Tonics.
Salcombe Gin is based in the heart of Salcombe in the beautiful South Devon. It has a beautiful location with a balcony overlooking the Salcombe estuary, which is a perfect sun trap. I would highly recommend booking either if you are curious about the world of gin or as a fun thing to do with friends or family and an excuse to taste new flavours of gin.
