This unique gin experience for two people is the perfect gift for confirmed gin lovers and those just starting out on their gin journey. The lucky pair will spend a fascinating few hours at Hotham’s Gin School in Leeds for their award winning gin experience.
Upon arrival, they’ll be greeted with a Hotham’s Gin and Tonic in the Distillery Bar where they’ll join a group of other gin lovers looking out over the purpose-built Distilling Room.
Whilst they enjoy a G&T, the Distiller will talk to them about the history and characteristics of gin, and they’ll learn about the different styles of gin. They’ll hear about the Hotham’s brand – how it came to be, and a little about Lord Hotham himself. They’ll also learn how to taste gin, and then they’ll have the chance to try the range of Hotham’s gins, including the award-winning Cardamom Gin.
Next, they’ll head over to the Botanicals Bench, where they’ll smell and taste not only the key ingredients of Hotham’s own gins, but also over 70 other botanicals from around the world. Then, with a little help, they’ll select the botanicals for creating their very own gin.
The head Distiller will advise them on the quantities of botanicals required, whilst they enjoy a gin-based cocktail. Once they’ve decided upon their recipe and weighed out their botanicals, they’ll add these to their still, where the base spirit awaits.
As distilling gets underway, the Distiller will explain the process, encouraging guest to taste their gin as it distils.
Finally, they’ll bottle, name, label and wax-dip their unique creation to take home and enjoy.

The Leeds Gin Making Experience for Two takes place at Hotham’s Gin School in Leeds city centre. Founders Emma and Simon met over a G&T back in January 2017. Their shared love of gin inspired their first date at a gin school in the Midlands, where they started to think about developing their own gin recipe. After a year of learning about the gin making process, and experimenting with recipes, they launched a micro-distillery, Hotham’s Handcrafted Gin and Hotham’s Cardamom Gin, and a Gin School.
