Evolutie van Gin en Underground Gin Proeverij in Edinburgh | 1 uur
Beschrijving
Meer dan alleen een gin-proeverij - dit gaat over de evolutie van Gin! Tijdens deze ervaring volg je de reis van gin vanaf de oorsprong tot de moderne geest die we kennen en waar we van houden. Je gids leidt je door de verschillende smaken, legt de geschiedenis van gin uit en stelt voor welke mixers je kunt toevoegen aan de (4) gins die je gaat proeven - het mixen wordt aan jou overgelaten, zodat je het zo sterk of zo delicaat kunt hebben als zou je het leuk vinden! Gehouden in The Lost Close, dit is een deel van Edinburgh dat begraven lag onder het oude gevangenisgebouw totdat het in 2018 werd blootgelegd, een ruimte waartoe alleen wij toegang hebben, en er is nergens anders zoiets in de stad!

A unique, interesting and super fun experience! We loved Hayley’s expert knowledge and storytelling, we learnt a lot and felt privileged to see and experience this incredible lost close whilst sipping and learning about the evolution of gin. Amazing to see a glimpse into Edinburgh and wider Scotland during those periods of history. A must do when visiting Edinburgh -5 star experience that we would highly recommend. Thank you Hayley, you are a superstar 🏴🔥🙏🏼
The venue was amazing, very atmospheric and loved all the associated history and our host, Lydia was just lovely. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. It was a small group so easy to chat amongst ourselves. It was a gift and thoroughly enjoyed doing something different. We did have an issue with booking online but it was all to do with the Virgin voucher and it's booking process rather than the venue. They were able to sort it all out very efficiently. Loved it.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the unique atmosphere of our underground space and the stories hidden within its history, and that Lydia helped make the experience so memorable with their warm and knowledgeable approach. It's also lovely to know that the smaller group setting made for an enjoyable and relaxed experience, especially as a gift and something a little different to discover. While we're sorry to hear about the voucher booking issue, we're pleased our team could help resolve it smoothly and get everything back on track. Slainte, The Lost Close Team

I booked this tour on Viator for our small group and had an enjoyable time in the very special Lost Close with Elanor as our guide through some unique gin choices with a ton of history thrown in to make it very interesting as well. Mixers are included as well.

I brought my wife here as a wee surprise for our first anniversary and I managed to keep it a secret until we were led down into the vault. We loved the setting, the history of the vault and all the historical facts about gin. We also loved the gins that we sampled. Our tour guide, Halley was very personable and informative. A good time was had.

It’s wonderful to hear that Haley’s warm, knowledgeable storytelling helped bring the experience to life. We hope the memories linger long after the last sip, and we’d love to welcome you back underground again. Slainte, The Lost Close Team

Absolutely AMAZING! It’s a MUST, seriously. Hailey and Mark were fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, great sense of humor, storytelling skills and very patient with all our questions. Also they were very accommodating with my restriction of not liking gin (ahahah I know) - and let me joint the gin tour while also offering a beer one. Seriously, do it. And it’s insanely cheap for the value of it! Congratulations guys!
Thank you so much! Haley and Mark will be thrilled to hear this. We’re so glad you enjoyed the flexibility and the experience. Hope to see you again! Emilie – Marketing Manager
Very informative while still being enjoyable. Nikki did a great job of hosting the evening. She even moved rooms when I got claustrophobic in the smallest room.
Thank you for sharing this lovely feedback! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the experience and that Nikki made you feel comfortable throughout the evening. — Emilie, Marketing Manager
This was such an interesting way to learn about Scottish history through gin. All of the samples we tasted were a part of the story, and our host was such a wonderful story teller and you can tell it’s a topic she enjoys and she was very intentional with her choices of gin she shared with us. The tasting rooms and space were also really cool and definitely added to the experience.
Delighted you enjoyed learning history through gin! We love hearing how our hosts and space add to the experience. Cheers! – Emilie, Marketing Manager
