Gin Tasting Kit

CAD $60.00

If you are looking for a gin tasting experience or wondering how to gift a gin tasting kit, you are in the right place!

When it comes to making gin there is one rule that matters above all others – to have gin you must have juniper. Each gin is unique, however at the same time you can cluster them into groups with similar interests and characters called flavour camps. The four core gin flavour camps are: juniper, citric, spicy, and floral. 

This gin tasting kit has been organized with a curated selection of gins that span the four core gin flavour camps, as well two gins that have their individual styles of an Old Tom and cask aged. Grouping the gins like this helps you to identify the major types of gins you prefer, which helps you to zero in on new gins to try that belong to similar cohorts.

The highlights of our gin sampler tasting experience include:

    • A curated tour of the best tasting gins we love from around the globe including: Canada, USA, Japan, and the United Kingdom (England and Ireland).
    • A gin tasting booklet guide for your experience including an overview of each gin, how to taste, and tasting notes.
    • Self guided experience using included booklet, or optional live expert led private Gin tasting event  available both in-person and virtually (Contact Us For Live Tasting Event Quote)
    • Food pairing options to compliment the gin tasting.
    • Great for occasions such as a birthday gift for gi lovers or a gift for the holidays!
    • Optional crystal Glencairn gin tasting glass available.
    • Optional note card to deliver a special message to the recipient.
    • Delivery available across Ontario and next day delivery to select locations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).*If you need to ship to multiple addresses, please contact our concierge support by either emailing us or calling us at 1-(877)-712-9686.

Gin Tasting Experience Food Pairing

GREEN & BLACK’s Organic Dark Chocolate For Gin Sampler Gift Set

Dark chocolate and gin make a great match. The warming, complex nature of most gin complements the luxurious, creamy texture of good chocolate.

The underlying sweetness and alcohol bite to gin is offset extremely well by the more bitter and lingering flavor of dark chocolate.

Our organic Dark 70% chocolate from GREEN & BLACK’s is made from fine Trinitario cacao beans, providing complex fruit notes and intense bittersweet chocolate aromas.

GREEN & BLACK’S is a chocolate brand founded on sustainable and ethical cocoa sourcing principles.

A great addition to a gin birthday gift for those looking to buy gin samples online.

How To Enjoy

While you still have the flavours in your mouth after a sip of gin, take a piece of chocolate and let it slowly melt and add to the flavour. Then take another sip of rum and round it off.

Torres Selecta Black Truffle Potato Chips

Truffles are a bold flavor, and a little goes a long way. The taste of black truffles is a mixture of chocolaty, nutty and earthy. Gin pairs well with potato chips and the flavours of black truffle, so we have a fantastic snack that combines both!

These special premium potato chips feature authentic black summer truffles.

Be captivated by the intense woodsy aroma with flavors of garlic, wild mushroom and earthy hazelnut undertones that convert this snack into a real treat for the senses.

Ingredients: Potatoes, sunflower oil, salt, dehydrated black summer truffle (T. aestivum Vitt.) and truffle aroma.

From occasions like birthday gifts to valentines day, this is a great gift!
