Join us on Friday, May 21, from 7 to 9 p.m., for a Gin Spirit Tasting hosted by spirit connoisseur Nigel Manley, who will regale you with gin facts and fables while you sample an array of gins and nosh on bite-sized eats.

Nigel Manley, our neighbor from The Rocks Estate just across the road, has made Bethlehem his home for more than 30 years and is well-known locally as a whiskey and spirit enthusiast who has a passion for sharing his knowledge. During his presentation guests will learn that gin was first made in Belgium, and its name comes from the Dutch "Genever" or the Latin "Jenever," for one of its ingredients, Juniper Juniperus.

Guests will also enjoy a typical gin tasting, where the gin is served neat, without tonic, ice or garnishes. To fully experience the spirit, gin is swirled in a tasting glass and smelled, as well as rubbed on the hands, which are then cupped, and sniffed. This is followed by tasting for first flavors, followed by tasting for finish. And, finally, coffee beans are sniffed to clear the nasal palate before proceeding to the next sample. When Nigel isn't educating people about his favorite spirits, he can be found in the garden, or farming, cooking, drinking beer, hunting and fishing, "but teaching about spirits is my passion," he says.
