[AD - Gifted] Massive thank you to @thegowergincompany, what an amazing couple of Gins we have here this evening! First up - “Jin Sych Llundain” or their London Dry Gin, is spectacular. I’m usually a bit unsure of fennel, but in recent years it continues to surprise me. Here, it’s unmissable, yet links up with citrus on one end and Juniper the other, a real solid Gin. Next - Pinwydd. (Pine) - this is a beautifully balanced Gin - taking me straight back to December 25th. Yes it’s piney, it’s lovely and resinous - but bitter cranberries take hold with orange in its arms - to produce an outstanding little number. While slightly Christmassy - it works unbelievably in a Negroni. Well that’s me sorted. Oh, and you should know by now how obsessed I am with Blood Oranges 😂 . #gin #gintonic #ginandtonic #ginstagram #ginlover #cocktails #negroni #drinkstagram #wales #welsh #friends #booze #bar #homebar #ginlord #theginlord

This evening, I’d just like to say “Cheers!” - to all of the distilleries/distillers and companies/business owners out there, working their arses off to give us fantastic Gin. Thank you for being honest and transparent with us, but most importantly, playing by the rules. It’s been a draining couple of weeks, with “fake gin” continuing to pop up - but tonight I’m forgetting all about those, and focusing on the positives! . #gin #gintonic #ginandtonic #ginstagram #ginlover #shelf #cheers #thankyou #cocktails #drinks #bar #homebar #suffolk #positive #friends #community #ginlord #theginlord
Thoroughly enjoying @pothecarygin this weekend, I remember first tasting it back at @junipalooza London 2016 , it still impresses me every time I drink it! Question: when it comes to garnishing with citrus - Slice or Peel? For more - check out my latest article - “Ice & A Slice or Half a Shrub?” . #gin #gintonic #ginandtonic #ginstagram #ginlover #ginoclock #weekend #article #website #garnish #citrus #friends #cocktails #drinks #ginlord #theginlord
I think I’d be lost without my Botanical Tasting Wheel from @ginfoundryuk - especially this evening as tasting the mysterious @alkkemistgin - this revolves round it like a Spirograph. The liquid itself could be mistaken for a grape base, but grape is actually in the botanical lineup. It rises up out of the glass on the nose and coats the mouthfeel on tasting. Loads going on - ironically as it’s distilled only by the full moon at night, that taste is like walking through a botanical garden in the middle of the day, with real punchy and aromatic floral notes then onto the seafront for a silky herbaceous finish. A remarkable bottle, a lengthy botanical line up and a real journey in the mouth - Excuse me while I go back for more... . #gin #gintonic #ginandtonic #cocktails #tasting #taste #notes #work #spain #moon #fullmoon #botanical #drinks #ginstagram #ginlover #bar #homebar #ginlord #theginlord
