Welcome To The Gin Ignite Podcast

Whether you want to party or have a quiet night in gin will ignite

Welcome

Quiet

It has been fairly quiet as most distilleries took the time after Christmas to regroup and have a rest.
I have also taken the time to have a bit more of a relax.
I am hoping to have more to report next week.

Review

Reviews really help the podcast in a given podcast directory. So if you did have a chance to review the podcast I would be most grateful

This gin was introduced to me by Andie Riches when she was a guest on the podcast in episode 14.
I got in touch with Luna (the L in LAW) and we arranged a date to speak about their gin. Luckily it was a bit ahead of time as they very kindly gifted me their gin.
This meant that I was fully prepared before our chat.
The nose of the gin has a subtle aroma of lemons
The tasting profile starts slightly sweet before going dry and then you get an elongation of a lemon but with a sweetness which is just the right balance. At the end of the profile you get heat from the alcohol and finally to a subtle sweet flavour. You also get an interesting flavour and sensation on the tongue which I think is something to do with the prickly pear.
It is a very unique taste and I think this comes down to LAW’s use of the alembic still.
On adding to Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic you get a very pleasant G&T which has really interesting taste profile. The lemon is somewhat dialled back.
To me this is best gin to add to a dirty martini. It just bonds to the olives and creates a fantastic taste.
This gin is also suitable to use with a variety of cocktails. I have tried a number that particularly play towards the orange or the lemon botanicals.
It has a very proud place on my gin shelf.

Introduction

So today 1st January 2021 marks the start of another year.
Hopeful that Covid might be more under control during this year but don’t know when
First lockdown a lot of people put on weight.
As in the UK we are effectively in the third lockdown I am determined that we all need to start thinking about our weight.
Me included. Before we go the same way as lockdown 1 and 2.
Weight loss is a almost a taboo subject and one which sparks a lot of controversy on how to successfully to manage it.
The truth is you need to find a technique or programme or both that works for you.

1. Planning

2. Monitor your statistics
