Welcome

Hello and Welcome to Episode 33
Stockport Gin have started up again and had some great posts showing their production in full flow. They also announced an exciting project which they will be revealing very soon. They have also been out doing local deliveries. What could be better than Paul turning up at your door with gin ?
Tammy Jackson from @forcocktailsake had a great reel showing having a Martini whilst listening to Boris tell us all about Lockdown 3.0.
The Gower Gin Company have decided that after doing Veganuary and Dry January in previous years that this year they are going to do some walking. They are going be taking photos of their 6 pack of all their gins in various places on their travels. Worth thinking about investing in. Was £30 now £22.95. Bargain. I have just received the one I ordered. Can’t wait to try them in cocktails. So excited to try Rhosili Dragon Strength
Four Pillars have put out a post which caught my eye with their Bloody Shiraz gin which pair it with Bitter Lemon which sounds very interesting. Have not mentioned it but they have done it again with foodstuffs and their Bloody Shiraz Gin Caviar !!
Sip and Share UK - Kate got to 100 members which is amazing. I am proud to say that I am one of them. Kate is tireless in the work she puts into the membership site both from distillers and members. If you have not already you should definitely check it out.

They created this gin specifically on behalf of this project
After the project came to an end and pleas from local bars to keep supplying this gin, it became part of their standard range at the beginning of this year.
The nose of the gin has subtle lime aroma.
The taste profile has a sharp citrus burst, followed by a sweet flavour and then goes dry with a lime aftertaste. The lime is very delicate and not too in your face.
I added it to my normal testing Mediterranean tonic and it made a really refreshing G&T. This would work well with any premium, standard, light tonics or Elderflower but I would avoid any with really strong flavours.
It is so smooth and such a great flavour that it is amazing in cocktails. The lime has quite a bite neat so I would probably not create a dry martini but I have tried it as a Tom Collins and I will be trying it very soon as a gin based Mojito.
I have also come up with some other cocktails which will be showcased this Tuesday coming and Thursday.
This is another amazingly versatile gin which can be used in a G&T or a plethora of cocktails and has a very proud...
