The East Imperial Gin Jubilee KL is back after three years!
Rejoice, Malaysian gin lovers, for Malaysia’s premiere gin and tonic celebration, the East Imperial Gin Jubilee, is back!!
Presented by premium beverage producers East Imperial and proudly organised by craft spirits distributors Wholly Spirits,
this year’s event is set to take place from May 15 to 27, 2023, and will be the first Gin Jubilee in three years.
The last time the Gin Jubilee came to town was 2019, which turned out to be the biggest gin event that year,
with bars across the Klang Valley vying for the title of KL’s Best Gin And Tonic.
This year’s Gin Jubilee will kick off with the Opening Party on May 15 at Wet Deck @ W Hotel KL on May 15.
The event will be open to the public, and guests will get to enjoy gin and tonics made with East Imperial’s range of premium tonic waters and Roku Gin.
Following that is 12 days of gin and tonic goodness, with events, tastings, and masterclasses lined up throughout.
This will all lead up to the epic Gin Lane finale party at Sentul Depot on May 27, where gin and tonic lovers
will get to try all 20 of the cocktails that are vying for the title of KL’s Best Gin And Tonic.
