Spirited Sermons

Reverend JW Simpson is pleased to announce a new autumn series of informative, interactive and irreverent Spirited Sermons master-classes.

On Tuesday 11th November, the master-class will be on Scottish Gin. Despite the words "London Dry Gin" printed on every bottle, in truth this only refers to the process - whereby botanicals are added during distillation and not afterwards. Though the spirit of Scotland may be Scotch whisky, gin is tired of playing second fiddle. It's reinvented itself and is re-emerging from the heather-clad hills as a trendsetter and innovator.

Throughout the evening, the host will join guests at their table to examine the chosen spirit, offering facts and anecdotes about its history and production, whilst Rev JW Simpson's experienced cocktail bartenders show how to use the spirit's flavours to create beautiful and delicious concoctions. Guests will then have the opportunity to use their new skills to shake and stir their own cocktail.
