Experience the First Macedonian Craft Gin Tasting in Skopje!
Experience the First Macedonian Craft Gin Tasting in Skopje!
Along with the many tours and events you can organize through Kajak.mk, today we are expanding the "Things to Do in Skopje" list with another unique corner that we are sure will change your perception of the direction in which Macedonia is heading when it comes to the production of high-quality beverages.
Through this reading, we will take you on a journey through the charming and aromatic cellar of the first Macedonian craft gin made using the traditional London Dry technique, called "SMIDGIN."
In other words, The Smidgin Experience is the perfect choice for private gatherings of groups from 6 to 8 people. You can book the tour with just one click HERE.
The Smidgin distillery is located in the beautiful MCM building in Skopje. Every day, this building receives fresh deliveries of Macedonian juniper and mountain tea from Galicica. In addition to juniper and tea, Macedonia offers 12 more herbs from various regions that are combined in the gin-making process.
If you’re wondering how to properly drink gin, what to pair it with, or how to mix up your favorite cocktail — you’ll learn all that from Kristijan Risteski, one of the best cocktail masters around, and a true professional who really knows his craft.
“The Smidgin Experience” is more than just a tasting — it’s the perfect alternative to a classic birthday party, a laid-back evening with colleagues, or a celebration of your latest achievement. What makes this experience truly unique is the atmosphere in which it takes place: the fresh scent of gin, the charm of the space, and most importantly — the privacy you and your group can enjoy.
