In this episode, we pull up a mic with gin expert David T. Smith, author of The Gin Dictionary.
In this interview, some of the topics we cover include:
- The fascinating world of spirits judging and awards - essentially, all those cool medals your favorite distillers keep winning.
- How David fell in love with gin, and became the author of this gin-driven reference guide.
- A stroll through the most common botanicals used to make gin around the world.
- Some discussion of different gin styles, both old and new, dry and sweet, aged and unaged.
- How to properly operate a Martini tester
- Why Timothy Dalton might not be the worst James Bond (key word being might)
- And much, much more.
