Join us on the 13th of September as we discover all things Gin. Learn what's in a perfect serve, how gin is made, its history, and most importantly - how it tastes.

You'll be tasting the top 5 categories - Gin, Whisky, Rum, Tequila and Cognac - but with no indication of which one is which! What you can expect though, is a masterclass filled with Lox's knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for spirits, where you can meet likeminded people, taste some amazing products and even learn a thing or two!
