When I was contacted by Atom Brands and asked if I fancied trying their Jaffa Cake Gin, I'm not going to lie, I was a little dubious. I immediately heard chants of "#StopFuckingWithGin" ringing in my ears and was worried this could be a very sticky, sickly, sweet drink. However, knowing that Atom Brands were… Continue reading Jaffa Cake Gin – Negroni

Chapel Down Bacchus Gin – Garden of England Cocktail
Chapel Down I was absolutely thrilled to be invited to the first, private, ‘Gin Masterclass’ session with Chapel Down’s very own Managing Director, Mark Harvey a couple of weeks ago. Made with a grappa and wheat base spirit, the botanicals in Chapel Down Bacchus Gin are designed to mirror the flavour profile of the Bacchus… Continue reading Chapel Down Bacchus Gin – Garden of England Cocktail
Let’s be honest…
As the Gin Industry is expanding and the market is becoming hugely saturated with our favourite tipple one would expect that people would be (very) merrily dancing in the streets and raising their voices in chants of praise and exultation. To a degree this has happened. More and more people are talking about gin, writing… Continue reading Let’s be honest…
GauGin Classic
Over the past few weeks there has been a flurry of posts featuring the latest offering from GauGin. Having already released two flavours GauGin I (orange,) and GauGin II (lemon,) these posts were relating to GauGin Classic. The gin has been getting an excellent response online and I honestly couldn't believe my luck when I… Continue reading GauGin Classic
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
Scapegrace
I first tried Scapegrace at one of our Gin Club evenings in May last year, a Kiwi offering from our New Zealand pal. Since then, something seems to have happened and I can't escape the stuff, which, might I add, is no bad thing at all. Scapegrace is a19th Century English word meaning a mischievous or… Continue reading Scapegrace
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
Fresha Strawberry Gin Jam
A couple of weeks ago, Fresha Strawberry Gin contacted me and asked if I would like to try some of their new Strawberry Gin Jam...my decision was made in less than a heartbeat, "Yes please!" Made in Dorset using Strawberries from Sopley Mill and Fresha Strawberry Gin, this is definitely a treat to get your… Continue reading Fresha Strawberry Gin Jam
Gin Shots – PJ Apple Gin
I've chosen to do a Gin Shot review on this specific flavour of gin from Belgian Spirits Company for one reason only, which is that I hate ginger...or at least I thought I did. What on earth does ginger have to do with PJ apple gin? The lovely chap on the sample table at Gin Festival… Continue reading Gin Shots – PJ Apple Gin
