Let’s get straight to it, if your opinion on gin is that only your grandmother drinks it – you’re way out. Gin’s been popular for centuries with the Great British drinking public. The term ‘Dutch courage’ comes from English soldiers fighting the Spanish in the Netherlands and getting drunk on Dutch genever gin beforehand. And since then it’s been a popular drink with men. The likes of Hemingway and Humphrey Bogart drank it. It’s even a key ingredient in James Bond’s favourite cocktail. Still think it’s only your nan who drinks it?
Gin tasting is a perfect activity for a big group of lads, for example family as well as friends, who might not all know one another. The hands on atmosphere (and plenty of gin) has a way of getting chins wagging and the good times flowing.
Generally guys tend to think of gin as something their grandmother used to drink. But after this stag do tasting you’ll realise that nan might have been onto something. Tastings can often be described as pretentious, stuffy and just overall boring. There’ll be no mentions of ‘flavour palettes’ or any of that nonsense here, it’s about having some delicious drinks, having a laugh and if you happen to accidentally learn something? Well all the better.
Your gin expert will run you through a range of ice-breakers and games that explain the history of gin and its usage, and will ensure you and the guys have a good time. Of course the main thing about a tasting is, well, the tasting – and you’ll be sampling up to four gins.
