And at 50% ABV, this ‘giant of a gin’ is the perfect present for father’s day.
For every bottle of Brunel Gin sold on the 6 O’clock Gin website, £1 is donated to the SS Great Britain Trust who opened the new ‘Being Brunel’ museum on Bristol’s Floating Harbour in March 2018. As well as this, customers will receive acomplimentary gin masterclass, shot at the distillery and hosted by 6 O’clock Gin ambassador Tristan Darby. In this video, gin-loving dads will learn the best way to serve their Brunel Edition gift, from classic cocktails to simple ‘lockdown’ home recipes, as well as learning about the Great Briton Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself.
