What to expect
You'll arrive at Earp Distilling Co. and receive a guided introduction to distilling history and technique. The instructor will walk you through the basics of how spirits are made, then you'll move into the hands-on phase where you sample from 20 available distillates. Using basic lab equipment, you'll blend your selections together to create a custom spirit that suits your taste. Once satisfied with your blend, you'll bottle your 200mL creation in a finished bottle that you take away.
The whole experience runs for about an hour. It's interactive but not physically demanding—you'll be standing at a bench or bar area working with small quantities. The class wraps with your spirit bottled and ready to go, plus your discount voucher for further purchases.
