Botanicals are woven all throughout Shakespeare’s work – from Juliet’s rose by any other name, to Ophelia’s fragrant bouquet, to the wild thyme and sweeping musk-roses in Oberon’s poetic ode to Titania.
Though the flowers and herbs native to Australian shores weren’t known to Shakespeare, they add poetry to the hand-crafted spirits made by our friends at Archie Rose Distilling Co.
This October, you can experience the best of both worlds. Hosted at the chic and colourful Monster Salon at Ovolo Nishi, join Archie Rose Brand Ambassador, Dan Ritchie, and Bell Shakespeare actors for a spirited evening exploring botanicals in Shakespeare, and a guided tasting of Archie Rose spirits.
Each ticket includes an Archie Rose Signature Dry Gin & tonic on arrival, a guided tasting of five different Archie Rose spirits, paired with performances by Bell Shakespeare artists; a delectable array of canapes from the cutting-edge team at Monster Kitchen, and a 200ml bottle of Archie Rose & Bell Shakespeare tailored gin to take home with you, featuring chamomile, waxflower and river mint created exclusively for this event.
Thursday 17 October, 6.30pm
Monster Salon, Ovolo Nishi Canberra
