Why not treat yourself, or a loved one, to a gin making workshop at Black Cat Distillery’s Gin School where you will create your own bespoke 70cl bottle of gin. Let us introduce you to the distilling process, the history behind gin, and the bewitching story behind the Black Cat name. Of course, you’ll have a gin and tonic in your hand to enjoy throughout. Next, we’ll get you designing your perfect gin. We’ll introduce you to a wide variety of botanicals, helping you to create a beautifully balanced recipe with interesting flavour profiles. Learn about the weighing out of botanicals and then get your hands on your individual copper pot still.

As the still is producing your lovely craft gin, we will have another gin and tonic (or two!) and enjoy a Cumbrian charcuterie and cheese board. By the time we’ve finished eating your gin will be ready to bottle and take home, unless you want to share a taste and a tipple of yours with us first!

Gin distilleries often offer gin tours and gin tasting experiences, but not many let you get your hands on the ingredients and make your own gin. Learning how to make gin will give you unique insight into the process behind crafting this perpetually popular spirit and hopefully a newfound appreciation for the attention and care that goes into creating every bottle.

Gin making is a great way to spend time with friends and gin gifts are always appreciated, so why not give a gin workshop as a present for gin lovers? Our treat yourself to our fantastically hands-on gin experience instead.

Our gin workshops are available to book via the calendar below, or as a gift voucher. If you want to organise a bespoke gin experience, get in touch with Black Cat Gin directly and we’ll happily put together a gin extravaganza just for you. We can’t wait to welcome you to our gin distillery sometime soon!

Calling all you Gin Lovers 

🍸 If you like London Dry Gin, you're going to LOVE Cumbrian No.1. 

🍊 Zesty citrus notes are enhanced with the warming presence of star anise, with subtle flavours of cinnamon following behind. The classic London Dry Gin is evident initially on the palate followed by a warming spicy explosion to finish.

🌶️ Always pair with a good quality tonic, and we recommend a couple of thin slithers of red jalapeno to bring out the spicy tones. 

Visit us at our distillery at Brougham Hall, where you can sample a gin or two and purchase from our shop. 

Or buy online at: https://www.blackcatdistillery.co.uk/product/black-cat-spicy-gin-no-1/

🎄Who doesn't love a festive tipple during the holidays?🎄

Meet Father Whiskers Gin - our Cumbrian Gin No.4, and a real favourite with our extremely discerning customers!

You can pop into our shop at Brougham Hall, Penrith, or order online through our website at https://www.blackcatdistillery.co.uk
