You can now take part in a gin tasting from home with this new virtual experience

Gin enthusiasts across Edinburgh and beyond can now enjoy a new gin tasting experience from the comfort of their own home.

Eden Mill Gin created the idea to provide a substitue for those missing catching up with friends on a Saturday night over a gin and tonic whilst in lockdown. With bars and pubs across the country now closed, Eden Mill will be running the two virtual tastings on the 4th and 11th April.

As told by the Daily Record, gin enthusiasts and novices will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the the tastes and flavours of the distillery’s full range of classic gins and liqueurs.

Those wishing to take part must sign up before the event, to receive their gin samples, glasses and other items before the tasting.

Brand Ambassador Steve Lowrie Mackay and head of events Chris Weir will share their expertise and knowledge of the botanicals in the gins, as well as the history of gin in Scotland and the Eden Mill distillery.

The event is best enjoyed between two you will even have the opportunity to win further treats and prizes.

Brand Ambassador, Steve Lowrie Mackay said: "Our gin tasting experiences are renowned as a brilliant day out for gin enthusiasts and novices alike, in fact the Eden Mill gin tasting is the number 1 attraction in St Andrews on Trip Advisor.

"We know that people at home are beginning to feel boredom set in and frankly we’d like nothing better than a Saturday night out on the town, but while we can’t do that for our own safety during lockdown, Eden Mill thought we could bring the party to your living room in April.

"I look forward to chatting through the range of Eden Mill’s classic craft gins, including the St Andrews take on London Dry Gin, which was voted Scotland's Number One Gin at the 2018 Scottish Gin Awards, where 116 gins were blind-tasted!”

The price for two is £50.

There are limited places available at the Eden Mill Virtual Gin Tasting on Saturday April 4 and Saturday April 11. To book or to find out more please visit www.edenmill.com
