Follow the journey of gin from its earliest origins to the modern spirit we know and love – all in one of Edinburgh’s most atmospheric hidden venues.

Your guide will lead you through the history of gin, its connection to Scotland, and its transformation over the centuries – from Jenever to Old Tom, Navy Strength, and London Dry. You’ll also explore the story of tonic water, originally used for medicinal purposes, and how it became gin’s perfect partner.

You’ll sample four distinct gins, with expert guidance on flavour profiles, ideal mixer pairings, and suggested garnishes. The mixing is left up to you, so you can create your perfect serve – whether you prefer it bold and strong or light and refreshing.
