Time Out says

Gin lovers rejoice as Asia’s premier gin festival, the East Imperial Gin Jubilee, is back on our shores for the third time. KL will be kicking off the festival this year before it moves on to other cities across Asia like Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. 

With 20 participating bars and over ten craft gin brands joining the party, this year's edition sees masterclasses and guest bartender shifts as well as a brand new menu of G&T creations that you can enjoy across the city. You can expect to see brands like Hendrick's, Citadelle, Fords Gin, The West Winds Gin, Kyrö Distillery Company and more, alongside newcomers like G'Vine and Four Pillars Gin. 

The jubilee's opening party at Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur's Bar Trigona will be a fancy affair, and on Aug 22, there will be a Fords Gin guest shift at PS150 with Kino Soh, who's up here from Singapore's Highball, her own bar. The next day Aug 23, one of Malaysia's top bartenders Osmund Bernard will be holding a Monkey 47 masterclass at Kenshin, and will have a guest shift at the bar later that night as well. Meanwhile, at JungleBird on the same day there will also be a masterclass by The West Winds Gin brand ambassador Brendan Grey. 

On Aug 24, Coley is playing host to a masterclass with Micaela Piccolo and Citadelle Gin, and JungleBird will see Brendan Grey, who is also a celebrated barman, returning for a guest shift. 

The gin jubilee will end with the finale party, Gin Lane at Plaza Batai on Aug 25. Entry is free, and G&Ts are only RM25 a pop.

Throughout the festival, participating bartenders will also be taking part in a city-wide Best Gin & Tonic competition. The winner, who will be chosen by an expert panel of judges as well as social media voting, will then head to East Imperial's finale in Singapore (Nov 30-Dec 8) to compete for the title of Asia's Best Gin & Tonic. So don't miss out on any of the events this year as you know they will be bringing their A-game, and you'll be trying out some of the best G&Ts the city has ever seen yet.
