Gin Tasting… at Auld Post Office
It
all
began
with
a
dozen
bottles
of
small-batch
hand-crafted artisan Scottish Gin.
Eight
gin
loving
friends
on
a
mission
to
write
a
Blog
about
the
ever-growing
Scottish
Gin
Trail,
led
us
on
a
botanical
nosing
and
tasting journey.
The Auld Post Office Gin stash now has more than 100 bottles of
Scottish Gin from which to choose. You’ll be guided to nose and
taste botanicals to discover your favoured Gin Profile.
On your Gin Tasting journey, you can sample the full flavour
spectrum from herbaceous, citrus, floral, earthy, sweet & spicy,
fruity and aromatic. There’s a Gin flavour favourite for everyone !
For
the
Gin
Connoisseur,
we
hold
a
number
of
1st
batch
hand-
crafted
gins
for
you
to
nose
and
taste,
first
neat,
then
with
an
array of mixers and garnishes. Or a flight of Extra Strength Gins.
The
passion
behind
these
new
creations
from
some
of
the
country’s master distillers is evident.
For up to six guests while staying at The Auld Post Office B&B
Gins are as individual as the tastebuds tasting them!
We look forward to welcoming you on your flavoursome tasting journey
Nose…
The evening begins with a
welcome Gin & Tonic and
recommended garnish.
Followed by nosing botanicals
included in the recipes for a
choice of Gins, specially selected
to aid your nosing journey.
Nose and taste, first neat… add a
cube of ice and drops of water to
bring out those botanicals you’ve
already identified.
Citrus notes, delicate florals,
pine or herbs and spices
will come to the fore.
Perfect G&T for you
Now you have discovered
your favoured Gin Profile,
you will be guided through
a selection of Scottish Gins
that you’ll likely enjoy.
Select the Gin of choice, add the
perfect mixer, and embellish with
a delicious garnish.
And finally, round off your
evenng with a choice of…
A Perfect Martini
Navy Strength Gin Cocktail
Gin Liqueur or Sloe Gin
warmed on the stove !
Taste…
Your nosing and tasting
journey continues as you
experience different Gin
flavour profiles.
Garnish with fruit and fresh
herbs from the garden.
A preference for certain flavours
will become apparent as you
discover the garnishes most
suited to your palate.
The additional aroma from the
garnish will take your Gin to
another level… and you’ll likely
‘note the finish’.
