We’ve seen a reappearance in cocktail culture over the past few years. Pop-up gin tasting bars are everywhere and it’s been reported that there are over 50 distilleries in South Africa!

Gin is a distilled spirit that can be made up of a variety of ingredients, herbs and botanicals, but the one that must always be present is juniper. Juniper is what gives gin its distinct smell and taste.

At The Somerset Lifestyle and Retirement Village in Somerset West, we unlocked the flavours of world craft gins right here at The Lord Somerset Clubhouse.

Our residents sipped, savoured and enjoyed a unique craft gin experience.
