So I figured it would be fun to round up the 5 gins I enjoyed trying for the first time the most in 2018. Some of these gins were newly released last year and others were just ones I tried for the first time. I'd like it noted before we begin that they are in... Continue Reading →

Especially the Christmas gins and beers...  Which is what I'm focusing on, for the most part, in this blog this week. To put you in the picture I am Christmas... Continue Reading →

04/12/2018 Husk Distillers Ink Gin and Citrus Yorkshire Tonic Initially what strikes you about this gin is it's dark blue colour.  When I first heard about this I hadn't seen anything like it.  My sister told me about it as her friend had seen it while living in Australia and wondered if I wanted her...
