From 7 July to 20 August, Nicholson’s pubs across London and the UK will celebrate the glorious spirit of gin with Gin Fest 2016, a showcase of 31 different premium versions of the tipple, together with unique gin-infused cocktails, master-classes, gin parties, and a raft of free daily giveaways.
Gin aficionados will have an excuse to visit their local time and time again as the 31 high-end gins will be on offer broken down into categories to best match each tipple: Floral & Modern; Light & Citrusy Savoury & Dry; Juniper Heavy & Robust; and Something a Bit Different.
New to Nicholson’s gin cabinets; sample Wisconsin distilled Death’s Door – one of the leading craft gins in the USA served garnished with a sage leaf. Closer to home and hailing from Peckham, London – Little Bird is a lovely light gin championing grapefruit as its lead botanical; And for true gin connoisseurs – Monkey 47 is an unfiltered gin made in Germany’s Black Forest, created in individual batches using a complex set of 47 different botanicals.
Nicholson’s love of gin goes back a long way - 140 years. Founder William Nicholson started his career by running the family gin distillery in London and Nicholson's are still serving the best gins in many of those original gin palaces today.
