I chat to a good few gin makers these days and I'm adoring the interactions I'm having with them.  You don't get love or passion just picking up a gin from a supermarket, website or in a bar.  But when you talk to these guys and girls you can really get the love they have... Continue Reading →

So a wee while back I fired up a post on the Twitters about tonic recommendations and these guys made a suggestion... We then got to chatting... And the rest is, as they say, history. I'm trying really hard to put a lot of focus onto the Scottish gin industry given my International Scottish Gin... Continue Reading →

I have a couple of articles that I'm in the process of writing... By "in the process of writing" what I mean is that I've decided the topics... I've started reading about them and I've reached out to friends and people far better informed than I to help put it together for a broader range... Continue Reading →

I won't lie... I've been writing this post for a couple of weeks. I've almost finished it four times. I've deleted it, restarted it and toiled over how to approach it. It needs to be right...

When I started my blog it asked me to type up a sample blog which ended up posted... I wasn't too sure what to type so, I'll be totally honest here, I typed up some random-y stuff and hoped for the best... I think it ended up being a kinda intro but not really. I... Continue Reading →

Sometimes innocent chats with other bloggers and people I've got to know a little through Twitter provides interesting and exciting results... A few weeks back I was chatting away via another post on Twitter and was made aware of a gin that I'd never heard of... THUNDERFLOWER. Through the conversation I was having this gin...

We Scots are a proud people. We like what we like. We do what we do. Thing is though... Generally when we like what we do we get REALLY passionate about it and then we absolutely smash it. We nailed whisky... We nailed inventing telly because we want something to do while we drank the... Continue Reading →

I was innocently messing about on Twitter a few weeks back when I came into contact with Fifty/50 Gin. When I read a little about the gin I was quite intrigued as its really not like any other gin that is around just now. OVERVIEW The short description is that it has an aged gin... Continue Reading →
