Saurav is awesome. The poor guy had a quite... merry... group. He was very knowledge, and guided us through our tastings choices expertly. Legend.
P.s. Phil is second rate compared to the amazing Saurav ;)

We loved this gin-making experience. It started with a history of gin while enjoying several gin cocktails, and then moving in to tasting and choosing the botanicals to use in making our own gin recipe. Saurav was so helpful ensuring we chose a good mixture without overdoing it. We learned so much but also tasted so much! It was really worth the money, as we had at least 4 cocktails at the event plus came home with 2 full bottles of gin, and a bottle of tonic. It was a really wonderful event!

My wife and I went to the Ginstitute last week and had an absolute BLAST! We learned all about the history of Gin and went on to make our own. Our instructor, Sam, was a top bloke! He was smart, witty, and extremely knowledgeable, way better than Phil (according to my wife who'd been before).
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone remotely interested in drinking and distilling spirits.
Also, whatever you're paying Sam isn't enough 👌🏾👍🏾👏🏾

Best gin experience out there. Worth every penny. Sam was our gin expert who was amazing, he was engaging when telling us the history of gin and his knowledge was incredible when making our own gins.
Would recommend this experience to any gin lover.
We also stayed at the hotel and ate at the restaurant and would recommend both.

What a bloody great afternoon. Top class. Informative, interesting, excellent staff, and enough gin to send you off on The Underground with a big smile on your face.
Presentations 10/10. Best chemistry lesson ever. And, you get your own, bespoke, made by you, bottle of gin, plus a bottle of Portobello gin.

This was a birthday gift pre-Covid, so especially good to finally make it here.
The first session was relaxing and very informative about the history of gin, in particular the part it played in the social history of London. This talk, by Phil the Master Distiller, was well accompanied by some gin tipples. The second session was a chemistry-set style selection process for a range of distillates to concoct our very own named bottle of gin. This was good fun and aided by a small friendly international group of attendees and a pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable gin tutor Saurav. Everyone was getting very mellow as the afternoon progressed so one needs to arrive sober! Would highly recommend. As a couple we came home with four bottles of gin - two of our own composition and two Portobello Road 171. Hic!

Could you enjoy the tour/experience without drinking gin straight, eg mostly sticking to cocktails?

Yes, the drinks they serve during the session are mixed. You need to sample the botanicals to see what you want to blend your bottle with. Once you have your own blend you then sample everyone else’s, you could skip this part or ask for some tonic to mix. It really was a fantastic experience.

I’ve booked an experience, but I’d like to eat beforehand. Is there restaurant on site?

Yes, on the second floor there is a Tapas style Resturant which is pretty good.
Definable eat something, you will be offered about 5 different gin drinks as you go through the history of gin; afterwards you and about a dozen or so other people will go in another room and flavor gin to take with you. You will have an opportunity to sample each other’s flavored gin. If you are a visitor and want to take the gin back to your home country, plan ahead and bring the appropriate packaging. You will also leave with a fifth of their gin as well. You will have a good time. Enjoy!!

Does each guest make their own flavour of gin ? or is it one blend that everyone in the group gets to take home a bottle of ?
Karl W
Bournemouth, UK186 contributions
Each guest tastes 17 botanicals, and out of this you're advised to choose 6 (I think) - one dry, one spicy, one sweet and three others. Your own bottle of gin is made from these, but before sealing the bottle everyone gets to taste each other's, so that if someone's come up with a particular blend that you like, you can order a bottle of their blend.
Everyone in the room agreed that they preferred mine - which I'm sure was pure luck - but if you want to try it, be my guest. You can order a bottle of no. 29091. #
You leave with an individual bottle of your own concoction, plus a bottle of Portobello Gin. So my wife and I left with four bottles

Hi
When you say share the drinks - do you mean with your friend/partner or the entire group? I ask because another reviewer mentioned everyone tasting from a shared glass. I was thoroughly intending booking this until I read about that - it is just so unhygienic and would put me off the tour. Can you please clarify?
Many thanks

Hi it is a shared glass throughout the whole group. They pass round each botanical for you to try....think there was 12 of us.

Hey there, does each person get to make their own gin, want to go with my boyfriend but was wondering if it's a group effort gin (meaning you might get one you don't like!) or if it's your own choice x

Hi
I'm sorry I don't know what time the restaurant opens. We visited at 2pm so had lunch nearby. There are several places to eat nearby in Portabello road or give the Ginstitute a ring and they maybe able to help you. I hope you have a good time.
