Malfy Con Arancia

I couldn't actually believe it when I heard that Malfy had added another gin to their range...Malfy Con Arancia.  Already being a fan of the Con Limone and a Super Fan of their Originale, I went a bit Veruca Salt about wanting a bottle and got a little overexcited when it finally arrived! I have… Continue reading Malfy Con Arancia

Bancon Homes Gin

A wee while ago I was contacted by Bancon Homes to ask if I would like to try their gin...I must confess, I was rather confused at first.  A quick google and I found lots of information about houses but nothing about gin.  Curiosity levels piqued, (and because no one in their right mind should… Continue reading Bancon Homes Gin

Brockmans Gin

The idea sprung to life in 2007 when a group of friends decided they wanted to create something new and original which would break out from the corner of the room, Brockmans Gin, in my opinion, most certainly did that and still holds it's own 10 years later. The first rather striking feature of Brockmans Gin… Continue reading Brockmans Gin

McLean’s

When McLean's Gin first appeared on my radar I almost popped with excitement. My maiden name is MacFadyen, with my family hailing from Glasgow. Although my Mum's side (MacDonald) have their own named tartan, us MacFadyen's don't, ours is...MacLean! At this point I knew McLean's gin and I simply had to be introduced. I contacted… Continue reading McLean’s

Malfy Originale

When I hear the words "Malfy Gin," I automatically think of that stunning blue and yellow bottle, which is filled with the most delicious lemony liquid ever.  In all honesty I didn't even realise there was another type of Malfy.  Malfy Gin Originale happened to catch my eye when it popped up on my Instagram feed… Continue reading Malfy Originale
