GIN TASTING

A favorite of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Humphrey Bogart, gin has had a storied place in history.  The colorless liquor, infused with botanicals such as juniper, was an underground favorite during the Prohibition Era.  Now that gin can be made outside of a bathtub, the modern gin movement finds an array of producers showcasing the versatility and subtlety of flavor of this spirit.  Please join us to experience a gin tasting at Atria restaurant, the new modern European restaurant in midtown Manhattan.  We’ll learn about the history, flavor profiles and sample a variety of cocktails made with gin.

DH Krahn Small-Batch American Gin
Batch distilled in Northern California, DH Krahn Gin is a modern twist on one of the world's most classic spirits. Aromatic and floral on the nose, yet rounded, rich and delicate on the palate. Its bouquet is most uniquely characterised by the multi-step maceration of fresh Californian Citrus Peels along with shredded Thai Ginger.

Hayman's Old Tom Gin
Old Tom Gin is a botanically-intensive style of gin popular in the 18th Century and was the Gin of Choice in the 19th Century. Relative to London Dry Gin, the Old Tom style imparts a more complex and flavourful taste experience.
