With summer flavours in mind, the Minke Gin School is back in session to bring unique recipes and distilling techniques to Ireland's ginthusiasts – courtesy of Clonakilty Distillery.

To celebrate, Hot Press are offering you the chance to win a weekend away in the West Cork haven of Clonakilty. You and a friend can enjoy a two-hour gin making masterclass, immersing yourselves in the tastes, smells and touch of the gin making process. The chance to distill your very own bottle to take home and enjoy will also be offered to the competition's lucky winners.

Also included in the prize is a relaxing stay at the award-winning, family-run Fernhill House Hotel.

Located on the southwestern tip of the island on the Wild Atlantic Way, Clonakilty is a whiskey, gin and vodka distillery founded by the Scully family in 2016. The clan have farmed this coastal land for nine successive generations and over 320 years, honing in on their mission to create Clonakilty Whiskey utilising the best resources that nature has to offer: prime land, pristine water and salt sea air.

Refreshing Minke gin and the brand's newest release, Minke vodka, are created at the state-of-the-art distillery in Clonakilty town - inspired by the Minke whale which swims off the Atlantic coast. With elegant flavours and a rich family history, Minke Gin School embodies the very best of the local land.
