Crail Food Festival Gin 2018
Hi all, another update! It’s a week now since tickets went on sale and it’s incredible just how quickly they are selling!! If you want to go along to the Crail Creole Dinner on the Saturday evening, don’t wait too long to get your tickets…there might not be any left!!
Wednesday was an interesting day to say the least! Not only did I get to pop along to Blendworks in the Rusacks Hotel, St. Andrews, but I also got to taste and create my very own Gin!
Greens in Crail had kindly provided our committee with some herbs for us to potentially use as ingredients in our gin, as did Ardross Farm Shop! Spoiled for choice!
After being taught how to correctly taste and smell Gin, how to reset our palates (Smelling the back of your hand, who knew?!) and about what exactly makes up a gin, it was our time to start tasting some options!
After finally deciding, carefully measuring, mixing, naming, and bottling each of our own gins, we then had a blind taste test of all the gins everyone had created! The results of this, and our common preferences will go towards our final recipe for our CFF2018 Gin! I am extremely excited to see exactly what the outcome will be!
