Recent reviews of Gin Tasting Experience
4/5 from Sally Berryman, attended Sep 2026: Teacher was very knowledgeable and entertaining, nibbles might be a good addition to soak up the gin!!
5/5 from Liz Arthur, attended Aug 2026: Great experience, gorgeous range of gins, wonderful enthusiastic host and very personal small group experience. Would highly recommend
5/5 from John Neale, attended Jun 2026: Very enjoyable and excellent host, recommend and would enjoy going again
5/5 from Leah Martindale, attended Apr 2026: Lucy was great, really knowledgeable and fun and really felt the vibe of the room well. We tried 6 different gins, learned all about the gin making process in Bristol Gin Factory as well as the history of gin (lots of fun facts like tonic being a medicinal tonic, and the origin of the phrase "dutch courage"). The building is beautiful and airy as well, really nicely placed and just historical and lovely. Would definitely recommend!
5/5 from Mathilde Andersson, attended Mar 2026: Stepped in and didn’t quite know what to expect.. mind blown by the knowledge of history and of course the subject of gin. Delightful experience helped along by Lucy who is passionate about what she does, wow! I don’t think I’m able to recommend any more, just do it! Book it while it’s still a thing.
5/5 from Sonja Long, attended Jun 2025: Fantastic evening with our generous and knowledgeable host, Kev. Our group really enjoyed learning how gin is made and how Bristol Dry Gin experiment with flavour creation. Gin tasting, a new favourite tonic discovered and lots of laughter through the event. Thank you
5/5 from Janice Hale, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely wonderful evening. Full of knowledge, fun and laughter throughout. The gin was the icing. I would recommend
5/5 from Michelle Hazelwood, attended May 2025: Lucy is a cross between a genius, scientist and gin comedian. Absolutely amazing, so much fun and lots of learning. I will be back and bringing everyone I know.
5/5 from Sarah Perkins, attended Oct 2024: Such good fun super knowledgeable host a brilliant way to spend the afternoon highly recommended
Bristol Dry Gin is a micro-distillery situated in the centre of Bristol, in the vaulted basement of an ancient building.The brand was started in January 2017 by two inquisitive cocktail bartenders who wanted to produce a range of spirits that they would be proud to serve on their bar. Experimentation, superb quality, a great sense of humour, a friendly nature and vibrant artwork have all been at the heart of our operation.We have strived to make a spirit recipe for every occasion and tried to use as many rare and unusual botanicals as we can get our hands on. Past experiments range from bacon vodka and pizza gin to hibiscus and lime leaf limoncello. Aside from the strange experiments, we produce exquisite citrus-lead gins, fruit gins and spiced gins. We even have a chai-spiced gin in the range.We have won multiple awards for many of our spirits, ranging from local awards to two highly prized World Gin Awards.
