Step behind the stills at Earp Distilling Co. for Spirit School! This is an immersive, hands-on experience where you take on the role of head distiller and craft your own bespoke bottle of either Gin or Rum.
Whether you're curious about botanicals or drawn to barrel ageing, this session puts you in control. Run your own miniature still, explore flavour development through guided 'cuts', and leave with a deeper understanding of distillation. Plus, take home your creation in a 500ml ceramic bottle you name and label!
Choose your path:
  • Gin School: Discover the art of gin-making using a curated library of botanicals sourced from around the globe. You'll balance flavour, aroma, and texture to create your own signature gin, with expert guidance at every step.
  • Rum Lab Dive into the world of craft rum, from fermentation to blending and spicing. Create new-make spirit using your own still, then explore our flavour library to build a one-of-a-kind spiced rum blend. You'll contribute to our Solera system and take part in a live-ageing process unique to Earp Distillery.
