This month’s 50 Before 50 challenge was to visit Rare Bird Distillery in Malton — and we’ve had a fabulous time! My Mum was only too happy to join me too 😊
We learnt about the history of Talbot Yard, Matt’s journey to opening the distillery, the history of gin, and how Matt makes his gin. The highlight was getting to create our own unique gin recipe — a true one-off and the only bottle like it in the world! 🍸✨
Whilst my gin isn’t available in shops (probably for the best! 😉), you can find out more about Rare Bird Distillery at rarebirddistillery.co.uk
A huge thank you to the guest who suggested it — what a brilliant experience and another challenge ticked off the list!
