Chapelton’s First Drinks Tasting

On Thursday 22 February Chapelton offered the local community the chance to enjoy a taste of some of the North East’s most popular spirits including Cock o’ the North, Arbikie and Porter’s Gin.

Held in the cosy setting of the AJC showhome, guests were able to learn more about the art of making cocktails at home with Porter’s Gin, find out about the process of creating Arbikie’s vodka and enjoy a dram of Cock o’ the North whisky.

Chapelton will be hosting a series of food and drink tasting events so look out for further details. If you would like to register your interest, contact events@chapeltonnewtown.co.uk
