17th September 2019, Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia’s premiere gin and tonic celebration, the East Imperial Gin Jubilee, is back and will take place on October 8-12, 2019.
Presented by premium beverage producers East Imperial and proudly organised by craft spirits distributors Wholly Spirits, this year’s Gin Jubilee will kick off with the customary Opening Party on October 8, and end with the ever-popular Gin Lane finale on October 12 at Sentul Depot, KL.
13 gin brands will be participating in this year’s Gin Jubilee KL, and a total of 26 bars will each be given one of the gins to pair with East Imperial’s range of premium tonic waters to create a cocktail that is worthy of the title, KL’s Best Gin And Tonic.
During a media launch held on September 17 at Wholly Spirits Retail in Desa Sri Hartamas, KL, Wholly Spirits Managing Director and Founding Partner Shawn Samuel said this year’s Gin Jubilee is set to be the biggest one yet.
“Since we started organising the event in 2016, we’ve seen East Imperial Gin Jubilee KL go from strength to strength,” Shawn said. “Last year, over 2,000 gin and tonic lovers came for our closing Gin Lane party, and this year, we’re expecting even more to show up. Malaysians really love their gin and tonics!”
This year’s Gin Jubilee Opening Party will be held at Wet Deck @ W Hotel KL on Oct 8, and is opened to the public. Guests will get to enjoy
gin and tonics made with East Imperial’s range of premium tonic waters
and Drumshanbo Irish Gunpowder Gin.
Following that is four days of gin and tonic goodness, with events,
tastings, and masterclasses lined up throughout the four days,
culminating in the Gin Lane finale party at Sentul Depot on Oct 12.
This year’s Gin Lane is set to be the biggest one yet, and gin and
tonic lovers will get to try all 26 of the cocktails that are vying for
the title of KL’s Best Gin And Tonic.
The winner of KL’s Best Gin And Tonic will be selected by an expert
panel of judges as well as social media voting (measured by Instagram
likes).
From 1 to 12 October, the public can vote for their favourite bar’s
GnT by posting a picture of the cocktail on Instagram. For the vote to
