Ghostly gin tasting
Thu 31 Oct 2024 6:30 PM - 7:45 PM
York Gin Pavement, YO1 9UP
Description
Boo!
Fancy a ghost-inspired gin tasting in Europe’s most haunted city on Halloween?
What could possibly go wrong?
Especially as the next door pub is the most haunted in York!
Fear not - our intrepid gin expert, Tim, is on hand to protect and guide you through a thoroughly haunting and delicious gin tasting and ghostly history lesson.
Along with spirited stories you'll get:
- Two spookily good gin cocktails, inspired by York's history
- A few tasters of our gin range - to give you 'history in the tasting'
Blithe Spirit
Top of the bill is the newly-relaunched York Gin Grey Lady - inspired by one of York’s most famous ghosts, the Grey Lady of the Theatre Royal.
With Earl Grey tea, distilled orange and lemon and butterfly pea flower this is a frighteningly delightful gin. A fitting tribute to the Grey Lady and all York’s ghosts.
The Stuff of Nightmares - you'll be grateful for your gin!
York Gin Outlaw Navy Strength is a different proposition altogether - inspired by the city’s awful characters including Gunpowder Plotter, Guy Fawkes, ‘Stand and deliver’ highwayman Dick Turpin and ‘Yorkshire Witch’ Mary Bateman who was also hanged - in her case, for poisoning!
York Gin Outlaw is dangerously smooth for its 57% strength.
Romans in Ruins
York Gin Roman Fruit is our tribute to York’s Roman origins. Made with fruit and flowers associated with the Romans including strawberries and hibiscus, its imperial dark red hue
The Romans have their own ghostly mark including stories of legions being spotted in the grounds of the Treasurer’s House.
