About This Adventure

Embark on a delightful journey at The Gin Library with our unique gin flight experience. Choose between sampling three or six exquisite gin and tonics, featuring our exclusive in-house creations. Enjoy complimentary snacks while our knowledgeable staff guides you through the flavors and garnishes, making each sip memorable. Book in advance!

Picking just one gin can be a tricky choice here at The Gin Library, with such a huge selection to choose from. With this in mind we created our gin flight experience. Pick from our standard Gin flight (3 sample gin and tonics) or our Full Flight experience (6 sample gin and tonics). Your selection is made up of our in-house created gins, including The Ghosts of The Ocean range as well as special editions created at The Gin Library.

Complimentary snacks are included with your experience. Ali Bullock, owner of The Gin Library or one of our librarians will explain each gin, the flavours and garnishes that are used.

Please note, the gin flights are only available at certain times at The Gin Library and bookings must be made in advance.
