World Gin Day is a global celebration of all things gin and it returns on 11th June – after having two years of virtual events, face to face fun is back with a host of events taking place across the globe. Find out more here.
You don’t have to attend an event to enjoy yourself, there are loads of ways you can have a great time in Dorset with the amount of incredible locally produced gins on offer.
Corfe Castle Spirit’s Gloriette Artisan Gin is crafted using an intricate blend of 45 botanicals distilled right next to Corfe Castle. One of the best-known local brands is Fordington Gin. Regular winners at the World Gin Awards, these are created in small batches, giving it a real artisan feel and is a unique gin, with a collection of secret botanicals. Their range includes the English Rose Gin, which is perfect for a summer’s day – ideal for World Gin Day.
Soapbox Spirits’ Pothecary Gin is another small batch artisan gin, with each element being distilled separately. If you’re local to Dorset, make sure to visit their gin refill station! Or there is Conker Spirit, which is created in Bournemouth. Conker Spirit is home to an award-winning Dorset Dry Gin, as well as a host of popular liqueurs.
