Latest booze order arrived
Another good Four Pillars gin - Spice Trade. Indian themed, can mostly taste the cardamom and chilli. No real heat from the chilli though
Little Biddy - this is a kiwi one. I can see why people rate it but I wouldn’t get it again. It’s nice but the botanicals are a bit too strong for my tastes. Prob makes a good G&T.

Just finished a bottle of the spice trade, really enjoyed it, thinking of the olive leaf one next as something a bit different

Visited the olds on the weekend and Dad decided to run a batch of gin through the still.
Pretty random recipe with whatever extra botanicals we could lay our hands on including some fresh kaffir lime and thyme.
Has turned out bloody nice and he reckons that it probably cost under $10 a litre to make.
This is just as good and smooth as any $70 for 700ml “craft” gin I’ve had.
Those bottles must cost a bit. -
Gin and Rum yo ho ho ho. Going to guess they don't mix.

So Kopperberg do Cherry Rum. And it's nice. It's not cidery at all so don't be confused.
Nay is it gin, but we have nay rummy thread! -

I thought Christmas was an annual not weekly celebration?
I've got some chocolate fish gin arriving today. Sadly it is not the gin flavoured chocolate fish I fancied I'd ordered - great for those boring meetings.
Rather it is chocolate fish flavoured gin - which sounds more than a little weird.

4 pillars do some nice gins. I finished a Tanqueray Sevilla orange gin the other day which was quite nice. If I see another bottle I'll pick it up again.
