Beefeater Gin Distillery Tour: The tour starts with an interactive exhibition taking you through everything gin and Beefeater gin. Your host will then take you up to the tasting area where they explain the key components that make Beefeater gin the World’s most awarded. You will get a guided tasting of four London Dry Gins before being shown to the Still House where every single drop of Beefeater gin is distilled. All finished with a perfectly made Beefeater G&T. This meticulous process is controlled with such accuracy that, after blending with crystal clear water, the spirit drawn from the still can be bottled without filtration. This allows D1 Potato Vodka to retain its incredible, velvet-soft mouthfeel and distinguished creamy taste. Graveney Gin Tasting: Plan a visit to the intimate nano-bar in the historic and vibrant surroundings of Tooting Market, for a very special evening of Gin tasting, hosted by Graveney Gin’s distiller. Gin Tasting Flights: The London Gin Club offer a range of six different gin flights. All flights are served with a selection of tonic waters, botanical garnishes and tasting notes. Interestingly, a penchant for gin might reveal a little more about your personality than you may have initially thought. Various sources suggest that gin drinkers, especially those who enjoy a classic gin martini or a gin and tonic, tend to be seen as mysterious and intellectual individuals with a captivating presence.

There's no distillery tour or bar as such (unless you get very friendly with Ian), so ask for it in good bars or buy bottles online.

Distillery Tour & Gin Tasting: Take a guided tour of the distillery to discover the history of gin in London and learn about City of London Distillery gin making techniques. The tour includes a Gin & Tonic on arrival followed by a 4-flight gin tasting. My guest smothered hers with dollops of Keta caviar perched on a subtle bed of chopped onion and boiled egg. The apple notes of the Kavka Estate vodka were the perfect match for the blinis.

The daring character and delicious, creamy smoothness of D1 Potato Vodka are rooted in the careful selection of the finest potatoes. Recognised by the world’s leading bartenders as the ultimate vodka ingredient, D.J. Limbrey Distilling Company has taken the craft of potato vodka to a new level.

The beauty of vodka – unlike whisky or wine – is that, really, you can throw away the rulebook when it comes to glassware. Hell, drink it out of the bottle, if you like (though expect some concerned glances from guests.) Kopytka dumplings stuffed with a creamy filling of chestnuts and forest mushrooms (think gnocchi) came sauteed and were a perfect warming winter dish. Next up is filtering, which gives vodka its clean mouthfeel. Although some craft distillers choose to skip this step altogether to impart a more unique flavour. They were on the lookout for clean, crisp vodkas, with a smooth mouthfeel and well-integrated alcohol. As well as gin tasting there are also so many distillery gin tour London experiences and gin tours London where you go almost on a pub crawl. Gin is a big thing in London!
