Piston, based in Worcester, has been evolving it’s ‘well oiled’ weekend gin creation experiences and are also moving into the ‘gin to your door service’ with a brand new £15 monthly package, which offers a seasonal approach with limited edition exclusive gins collaborating with a local award-winning chef. See www.pistongin.com The Waterfront in Merry Hill sees Dr Eamers’ latest bricks and mortar project. Having recently launched last month, it offers a true glimpse behind the scenes of the distilling process.

Up to six people can follow the production process as you help craft a physical batch of his gin, complete with Black Country tapas and samples throughout.
