Fantastic experience, very informative and the gin & chocolates are simply divine.
Will definitely be back with other friends and family.
who would have thought that gin and chocolate go so well together and that the educational part of the pairing is fascinating and interesting and absolutely delicious. We had a lot of fun and now we are looking forward to the cocktail making
The class was sooo good, I need a rematch lol because I wasn’t ready for that good vibe. I will definitely come back again with my many friends
Purchased tickets for my folks for their anniversary and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you Time Anchor Distillery for taking good care of them and your hospitality!
My friend and I had a fantastic time at yesterday's Gin Tasting & Chocolate Pairing.
The distillery is currently beautifully decorated for the festive season and was absolutely spotless, no speck of dirt in site, plus the music that was played in the background was phenomenal.
The tasting itself was great, despite the fact that I'm not much of a gin lover myself. It was a very interesting and informative tasting, having experienced each gin in almost 3 different ways all through a simple garnish/chocolate addition. My personal favorite pairings were with the chocolate bonbons. The cheese platter was a great addition to our experience and highly recommended it. I loved all the fun tidbits that were shared along the way as well as the opportunity to "distill" our own small bottles of gin and label them ourselves (plus, she displays a variety of gins you can choose from for your little keepsake that caters to everyone's different tastes).
Our hostess was entertaining, charismatic and shared so many insightful stories and facts about the world of gin and her beautiful small business, such as their beautiful still that was made in Germany (a must see) or that her business ultimately with a dream and her husbands supportor that they are the only craft distillery in Johannesburg. She truly showcased her passion for her small business and the liquor industry itself - her knowledge and words throughout the tasting only emphasized her love for it all.
The team and herself were always open to answering questions where needed and were an absolute delight/pleasure to work with and ultimately contributed significantly to my fantastic experience at their gin tasting.
I highly recommend this experience to gin lovers and gin novices alike, simultaneously for groups, dates, celebratory events that you want a fun twist to or even as a solo date.
