Anyone who knows me knows I’m a massive fan of Scottish gins. Having two Glaswegian parents and four Scottish grandparents I will always describe myself as Scottish…despite the fact that I was born in England, technically I’m full of Scots blood, right? My gin collection is filled with a very large number of gins from… Continue reading ISGD 2020 – Wild Island Gin

Virtual Gin Tours and Tastings
22.6.2020 It's pretty crazy to think that we've now spent almost 100 days in lockdown. I know it has been eased and we're able to do much more, but I for one am missing the pub. With no end in sight just yet, we've got to look at the positives. We've all become much more… Continue reading Virtual Gin Tours and Tastings

Silent Pool Gin Sensory Cocktail Experience
I'm very fortunate in the respect that over the past few weeks I've been invited to and attended some pretty fabulous gin events. Even more interestingly, they all seem to have had one thing in common, see if you can guess the connection. That Boutique-y Gin Company launched their new Olfactor-y range of perfume-inspired gins. … Continue reading Silent Pool Gin Sensory Cocktail Experience

A quick internet search… Continue reading Gin O’ndina at Harry’s Dolce Vita

I played through a number of strategies in my head about the best way of approaching this. The first… Continue reading Brentingby Gin

That Boutique-y Gin Company’s 1st Birthday Party
I wouldn't normally be quite so enthusiastic about an invitation to a 1st birthday party, but things are a little different when it's for a gin company!
Nouaison Gin Launch
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Georgia from GribbonBerry communications agency, who asked if I would like to attend the launch of Nouaison Gin by G'Vine...why people even need to ask these questions is completely beyond me! "Of course I would!!" I was already a fan of G'Vine's Floraison Gin,… Continue reading Nouaison Gin Launch
