The Lowdown
Forget wine nights, gin is where it’s happening, and Jonston Gin at in Poznań is the spot to check out. Located on Szewska 21 Street, this joint isn’t just selling gin—they’re making it. Handcrafted, small-batch, and straight-up delicious. Kasia and Paweł, the masterminds behind it, took inspiration from a trip to Australia where they learned how to perfect their craft. Now, they’re infusing their gin with a unique mix of botanicals like juniper, citrus, and cassia, giving it that smooth, bold flavor.
The Events
But it’s more than just sipping—it’s a full-on experience. These guys run gin workshops and tasting events that’ll have you ditching your usual wine night for something way cooler.
Picture this: learning all about gin while you taste your way through their lineup of incredible flavors. Their Mrs. Jonston variant, with hibiscus, grapefruit, and rosemary, is especially fire for those who like something a bit more expressive. And don’t sleep on their Winter Time Gin when the cold season hits. In fact, the options are endless!
The Inspiration
Kasia and Paweł are all about the craft, using traditional distillation methods with a modern twist. Their love for gin is legit, and they’re putting Polish gin on the map. Plus, Jonston Gin’s got some historical roots—it’s inspired by Jan Jonston, a 17th-century local botanist who brought nature and science together in a way that these two have brought gin and art.
