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

Welcome

Hello and Welcome to Episode 35
There have been some great things happening in the news.
I did my first instagram live with Tristan from Massingberd Mundy. Really enjoyed it and is definitely something I want to do more in the future.
I got a job which I am now in my second week. My very kind wife said that I could buy the range of The Gower Gin Company in celebration. Thank you to Sian and Andrew for their kind note.
I have been really enjoying some of the one liners from Stockport gin
I have been loving the Gower Gin company Rhamanta campaign at the moment. If you have not already tried it you really should and it will be in my stories all week as it is my weekly recommendation.
I have been really admiring those who have managed to do dry ginuary. It is very impressive. I have been trying not to drink in the week and have managed apart from the first 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

I was very kindly gifted a bottle of Rhamanta from The Gower Gin Company and I have loved it ever since.
I really love that it represent romance and it really is the perfect gin for Valentine’s Day.
Plus there is £5 off if you buy a bottle up to 14th February 2021. What are you waiting for ?
The nose of the gin has a delicate floral aroma.
The flavour profile starts dry followed by a delay and the you get a prolonged floral taste. This is then followed by heat from the alcohol and then finally a delicate peppery finish.
I could quite happily have this as a sipping gin with or without ice that is how diverse it really is.
I tested this with my usual fever tree Mediterranean tonic and it made a lovely G&T.
This is fabulous in a Martini especially a Montgomery 15:1. I am also going to try this weekend with @thestarlino Rose Aperitivo in a 50:50 mixture and I have high hopes for this too.
I think it would be great for cocktails as longer as you bear in mind the flavour is quite delicate. I would be careful not to choose too stronger flavours to pair it with.
This has a proud place on my gin shelf and I liked it so much I already have bought a bottle for stock.
If you have not already tried them I can absolutely recommend any of the Gower Gin Company gins.

I think it starts with the glass
Horrified to say that I used to have dry martini but with fairly mediocre gin.
Totally different ball game when you go craft gin
Also recently I had some red wine and I felt awful in the morning. I don’t get that with good quality gin. Not that I drink that much of it except on special occasions !!
So what is a Martini and where does it come from ?
It is believed that it derived originally from the Manhattan (Whiskey, vermouth, bitters, cocktail cherry) which led to the Martinez (gin 2
