Couldn't load pickup availability
A full place in the gin workshop at our distillery in the Aktienmühle, Basel. The recipient picks the date themselves, from any available slot.
In the workshop they build their own recipe from the botanicals in the lab, distil it and take their own bottle home. Plus a tasting in the distillery.
Early Bird: 10% comes off at checkout — you pay CHF 162 instead of 180.
The voucher arrives by email right after you order. Print it, fold it, hand it over. It does not expire.
Make your own gin at the distillery
Not a look behind the scenes, but an evening at the column still. You blend over twenty individually distilled botanicals—juniper, orange, cinnamon, tonka, and a few surprises—until the recipe is just right.
All dates and remaining places are listed at the top of this page. 18 and over.

How three hours run.
Not a look behind the scenes, but an evening at the still.
Arriving
We put a gin and tonic in your hand, then you go straight to the still.
Understanding
Botanicals, raw materials, the run on the column still. Heads, hearts and tails — and why one of them goes down the drain. Geist or Brand, filtration, why gin turns cloudy.
Tasting
Six to seven of our own gins. Where the differences come from, what makes a London Dry, what a New Western does differently.
Blending
Over twenty individually distilled botanicals — juniper, orange, cinnamon, tonka and a few surprises. Free choice, as many attempts as it takes. Then bottle it, label it, take it home.
The gin stays yours. Afterwards too.
You go home with more than a bottle — you go home with the recipe. Keep it or pass it on. When the bottle is empty, you reorder.
- 0.5 litres that exist only once
- Recipe written down, yours to keep
- Reorder any time
- From ten bottles up we produce your recipe with your label
Companies turn this into anniversary and client gifts, cliques make their own gin, bars their house gin.
