* Handpicked for you – curated deals for 5pm customers*

A certain dragon-filled TV show will be swooping back onto our screens very soon and we’re pretty close to fainting with excitement.

So what better way to celebrate it than with a dragon-inspired gin flight?

Today’s Handpicked Deal for two from beGIN on Byres Road is offering you and a friend the chance to try a craft gin flight from the Eccentric Welsh range, ‘Flight of the Dragon’.

With three gins each to enjoy as well as nibbles, you don’t have to be a Game of Thrones fan to enjoy this experience…

Game of gins

Part of Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor, beGIN is a hip bar & restaurant on Byres Road. Staffed by a team of savvy mixologists, the bar stocks over 100 varieties of gin from all over the world.

Available seven days a week until 26th August, this offer is on a gin flight for two with nibbles.

Your three gins from the ‘Flight of the Dragon’ range will be strong, earthy, herbal distillations that challenge stereotypes of what a gin can be.

Where are my dragons?

Eccentric Welsh is a speciality craft gin producer operating out of a two-hundred-year-old cellar in Glamorgan guarded by an ancient dragon (okay, so maybe only half of that it true).

You will get the chance to swig (sorry, sip), the following gins:

Limbeck – gin with juicy orange and subtle cinnamon flavours

Young Tom – fermented from IPA wash, this is a floral, strongly fennel gin

Madam Geneva – a juniper-led, very classic style dry gin

Your gins will be accompanied by three paired tonics, including Fever-Tree Ginger Ale, 1724 and beGIN’s very own pink tonic.

Nibbles will be nuts and olives.

Happy visitors

Many 5pm gin fans have left beGIN very satisfied. Here is a selection of rave reviews:
