ON SUNDAY, October 15, the Great Hall at the University of Reading was home to the one-day Gin and Rum Festival.
Attendees sampled a wide array of gin, rum, and tequila, as well as premium tonics and mixers, with a whole host of guest speakers and musical performances.
Over 100 gins were available to try, with a dedicated tequila bar, with distillers holding guest speeches to discuss their methods and their products, with samples included.
The festival saw a performance from Rick Moorhouse, who played an acoustic set as part of the festival’s entertainment, which also included a live DJ.
Guests could also consult the complimentary gin and rum guide, which gave attendees a complete run-down of the spirits on offer at the event, with tasting notes as well as recommendations on mixers, garnishes, and serving suggestions.
