Whether you’re an experienced gin drinker, or the ultimate beginner, this is for you! A beautifully printed wooden box with an Incendo Distillery branded crystal tumbler glass. Combined with four types of gins paired with four mixers and accompanying garnishes.
How to use your gin tasting box for a great tasting experience?
Firstly, decide if you are going to taste all the gins side-by-side or if you want to enjoy them over the course of a few days…
For a side-by-side gin comparison tasting, we recommend a tasting buddy and extra glasses. Pour 1/4 of each bottle in glass and add your tasting card next to the glass. Firstly, take a sniff from each glass to enjoy the aroma. Thereafter it is recommended to taste each of them neat (without mixer). For the best experience take a small sip, swirl it around over your tongue and swallow. Keep your mouth closed for at least 5 seconds after swallowing. This ensures you can taste the flavour of the gin without the evaporation burning sensation of the alcohol. Do this with each of the 4 gins. After the neat tasting, you have a choice, you can either taste all the gins with the same mixer or pair it with the mixer as recommended by the tasting. If you do not want to waste the mixers, share them with a friend, or divide it between all of the gins. Add a 1/4 to 1/2 of the mixer and the garnish to the glass (depending on the strength you prefer) and add a few ice cubes. Now taste all four the gins again with the mixer and garnish.
For a single perfect serve tasting, fill your gin glass with ice and pour halve of your first gin bottle over the ice. Top-up the glass with the paired tonic water or mixer. Now, for fun and a beautiful drink add the correct garnish!
Mixology tips to ensure the perfect serve of gin and tonic:
- The more and larger the ice, the better to ensure it melts slower and your gin is not unnecessarily watered down.
- Add the mixer at a 45-degree angle and pour against the glass to ensure you don’t lose too much of the bubbles.
