Puerto De Indias Gin Review (Episode 263)

In this episode, we taste a Spanish Gin from the city of Seville in the south of Spain. This gin has a very unusual smell or nose. It reminded both Johns of Fry’s Turkish Delight and the sugar-dusted variety. John M could even taste chocolate on the palate. It was not an obvious gin to John L, but an incredibly lovely drink. Incredibly smooth for the strength of the gin. Both Johns…

Her suggestion was immediately supported by her colleagues, although the surgeon did not comment because,…

Bathtub Gin (Episode 237)

We taste a very nice gin distilled in the South East of England, by Ableforth called Bathtub Gin. The gin is named after the very old practice of topping gin bottles up with water and because of the height of the bottles, this was done in the Bathtub! We did ask Ableforths where the somewhat unusual 43.3% alcohol content came from but they did not respond so the secret remains with them!

Black Lodge Wild Strawberry & Pepper Gin (Episode 230)

We taste another fantastic gin from the Black Lodge Potion Gin stable. This Gin looks good, smell good and absolutely taste good! Great as a single shot, great as G&T with 50/50 proportions or, in our opinion, even better at 30% Gin and 70% Tonic as a very tasty refreshing drink for the summer in particular.

Royal Fox Old Tom Gin (Episode 218)

We have great pleasure in tasting yet another gin from the Royal Fox Distillery, this time their Old Tom Gin.

Old Tom Gin is slightly sweeter than “normal” London Dry Gin.

This Gin is superb, great taste, no burn, and has a great length as well as having an excellent after taste.

With tonic, John M felt that the sweetness comes out more John also felt that people that felt London Dry Gin was too…
