What to expect
You'll arrive at the Cairngorm Gin Company tasting room and be guided through three different gins in a leisurely progression. Each pour comes served alongside a premium mixer on a wooden board. Before or after each gin, you'll taste a corresponding truffle—the chocolate's cocoa notes, sweetness, and texture deliberately chosen to amplify the gin's flavour notes. The taster explains the botanical selections in each expression and how the pairings work. It's unhurried and conversational rather than formal; you set the pace.
