Gemma's passion for gin and her deep knowledge of the craft truly shone through. She made the entire process engaging and fun, ensuring that we both felt involved and learned a lot. The hands-on approach was fantastic, and I loved being able to create my own unique gin. Gemma's friendly and approachable manner made the class enjoyable and informative.
