Excellent Experience
This was a Christmas gift. We really enjoyed the very informative and fun experience provided by Chris our host. The gins that we tasted were an excellent choice. We are really looking forward to tasting our own designer gin. The only thing that I would suggest is a change of venue. The toilets left an awful lot to be desired. We also experienced problems when making our booking.

Gin Experience was great, venue not so
The Gin Experience itself was really interesting and delivered well, learning a lot about the origin of gin to present gin, tasting and blending to make our own gin! However, the venue (The Briton’s Protection, Manchester) was small and cramped whilst we waited to go upstairs to a private room for the event. The toilets were disgusting with black mildew, not even seen bathroom cleaner or bleach!! I’d recommend the Gin Lounge look for an alternative venue to enhance their fantastic event.

Poor location
The Britons Protection was the venue in Manchester. It is not a good place and the room we were in was extremely shabby and tired. The ladies toilets were dirty. It spoiled the evening as a nicer setting would have been much better and would have made the experience much more enjoyable. The host - Chris - was very nice. I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this venue and other people who were on the experience also didn't like venue.

Gin Tasting
I was bought this as a gift for my birthday. Nightmare trying to book. No dates in December. Only Manchester available this year, no dates in Birmingham, Liverpool or Chester. Actual experience was good, but room upstairs in the pub where is was held was not the best! Nice enough experience but I wouldn't book again.

Gin blending
I was a little disappointed by the experience. Kept waiting in a crammed pub with no space before the event. Very limited tasting at the event. The blending constituted adding a few botanicals to a pre made base. The presentation was interesting.
