Gin bar just the tonic
THOSE looking to pay homage to one of Tasmania’ s most beloved spirits need look no further.
Forty Spotted is the mastermind behind Tasmania’s newest bar, which is aimed at creating a uniquely Tasmanian gin experience for its guests. Head of hospitality Dan Knight said he was eager to welcome guests into the exciting new space after delays due to COVID-19.
Though the bar itself won’ t open to guests until late November, the Ginstitute will be open from October 30 for guests to learn the intricacies of creating the perfect tipple.
Workshops will cost $99 per person and run for about 1.5 hours, allowing participants to create their own unique blend to take home.
“I don’t think there’s anything else like this you can do in Tasmania ,” Mr Knight said.
“You get to walk away with a bespoke gin that you’ ve created. What I really hope is that people walk away thinking it was a lot of fun, but I also hope that they gain a new understanding of how a gin blender makes the product that ends up in their glass.
“They’ll never experience gin the same way again .”
When the bar opens on November 27, guests will experience a selection of unique Tasmanian-inspired gin cocktail sand more than 20 of the world’s rarest and most exciting gins.
The space itself was designed by March Studios, and built to represent the nest of the Forty Spotted pa rd a lo te.
“I really want people to be able to feel like they’ re experiencing something really special for the first time ,” Mr Knight said.
The Gin Bar can be found at Level 1,30 Argy le Street.
