An Evening Of Gin Thursday 21/08/14
Hosted by Lee Isaacs & Aljoscha Wright
The Oxford Wine Company, 165 Botley Road, Oxford, OX2 0PB.
Following on from the success of our rum evening we decided to follow this up with the quintessential summer spirit: Gin. Having already achieved legendary status for our spirits events we threw everything into this one, including wearing three piece suits.
This event sold out incredibly quickly and we could have filled it 4 times over, obviously gin is very popular! Throughout the evening we tried 6 gins of different styles and covered the history of this wonderful spirit whilst also investigating the methods of production.
The rare Monkey 47 gin was a huge hit with everyone loving not just the gin itself but its humorous and entertaining back story. Gin has come a long was since William Hogarth and is now so much more than mother's ruin!
