Loved our afternoon at the Brisbane Distillery creating our own unique batch of gin individually chosen from a huge range of possible botanicals. The class was very professionally presented, but with lots of laughs along the way — and you get to sip on 4 different gin cocktails and yummy food accompaniments whilst your personalised gin is being made.
Gin School · Brisbane
Same Friday, different bar. Or this.
Swap the usual night out for three hours making your own gin — design a recipe from 180 botanicals, distil it in a copper still and walk out with a bottle that has your name on it.
Four cocktails and a charcuterie board included.
3 hours
A full evening in the Spice Lounge — unhurried, hands-on, expertly guided.
4 cocktails
Poured through the night, with a charcuterie board to graze on.
180 botanicals
From classic juniper to native finger lime, lemon myrtle and wattleseed.
Your own bottle
500ml of gin you designed and distilled, labelled with your name.
Most nights out, you’ve nothing to show for it.
At Gin School you leave with a 500ml bottle of gin you designed and distilled yourself. Choose your botanicals, run a real copper still, label it with your name. Three hours, four cocktails, one thing you actually made.
Make your own ginMake a gin once. Drink it for years.
Every recipe you create at Gin School is saved under your name — so the bottle you blend tonight, you can order again any time it runs low. The only night out that restocks your liquor cabinet.
Five gins in. Now build your own.
Start by tasting five base styles to find what you love — citrus-bright, spice-warm, classic-juniper — then blend a recipe that’s entirely yours. Distil it, bottle it, take it home.
Good questions
Is this just a tasting?
No — you make real gin. You design the recipe, run a copper still and bottle the result yourself. The tasting is just how the night starts.
I’m not really into gin…
You don’t need to be. It’s about creating something with your hands — choosing flavours, distilling, bottling. Plenty of guests arrive as cocktail people and leave with a bottle they’re proud of.
What does it cost, really?
Think of it as the whole evening: four cocktails, a charcuterie board, three hours of guided distilling and a 500ml bottle you take home — not a ticket plus a bar tab that leaves you with nothing.

Had a lot of fun at the gin masterclass on Friday. The team at Brisbane Distillery love their product, and love teaching people about it — and it really shows. A great experience, and I ended up with a tasty self-selected product at the end. Very highly recommended.
Had a great time with the Gin School team. Who knew that you could have an afternoon learning that there is so much more to gin. Also had a great time choosing our very own botanicals to make our very own batch 1, bottle 1.
