Product Information

Another sport-inspired gin is Polo Gin, which was founded by a former professional polo player after injury forced him to retire from the sport. After discovering that British polo players in India were among the first people to mix gin and tonic in India in 1857, Polo Gin was born, a smooth easy-drinking gin that’s made using sustainable, organic production methods. Escaping to a holiday cottage for New Year is the perfect way to celebrate and welcome in the new year in style.

Then the real fun begins… Before blending your gin, you will nose and taste a variety of botanicals and distillates, ranging from fruity to spicy botanicals. You can mix the distillates as you wish, so you can be sure the final product will be your very own, personalised gin! Once you’ve mastered your recipe, your host will use their expert knowledge to help you create a unique perfect serve which you can sip on afterwards. It wasn’t that long ago, that a gin that made a cloudy gin and tonic, was considered faulty. This effect is referred to by Absinthe drinkers as a Louche or more generally as the Ouzo effect. When a spirit contains a large amount of hydrophobic essential oils— commonly found in botanicals such as anise— normally soluble in ethanol begin to come out of solution as water is added. As you drip water into Absinthe, Ouzo or gins like Cotswolds Dry Gin, cloudiness begins to appear. You’ll even get to apply a wax seal and label to your 70cl bottle so it’s ready to be taken home the very same day. The class begins with a welcome Cotswolds Cloudy G&T on arrival, whilst your host will talk you through the history of gin and explain how this juniper flavoured spirit is made. You’ll then be taken on a tour of the distillery and shown around our research and development lab, where you’ll be getting up close and personal to our Holstein still, Valerie, whilst learning about the process of single pot distillation and how our Cotswolds Dry Gin was developed.
