We actually did it. 25 days (29 to actually get it done), 25 gins, and a 96% success rate that feels suspiciously high. The Gin Advent Calendar saga is finally, belatedly, complete.

Come and read the grand finale, featuring a special guest star and our final, slightly slurred thoughts on the whole ridiculous project.

Gin Advent Calendar: The Grand, Belated Finale

We actually did it. Every single one of the 25 doors on…

Day 19 of the gin advent calendar. Tonight's was the North Uist Downpour Gin. It caused... a reaction. One of us thought it was a decent citrus gin, the other thought it was a fire hazard.

Honestly, we're still baffled that people are watching this. Two people, a camera, and a box of tiny gins. It's the pinnacle of internet content, surely.

The full, dramatic account is on the blog.

Kinder auf alkoholzentrieten Veranstaltungen?


Geht es eigentlich nur mir so das ich etwas dagegen habe wenn Eltern ihre Kinder zu Whisky, Gin, Wein what ever Tastings mitbringen, also zu der modernen Variante der Weinprobe? Ich sehe das total verantwortungslos von den Eltern an. Auch auch von wegen Vorbildfunktion.

Was ist Eure Meinung?

Bright Night Gin

Last Thursday, I attended a #GinTasting as part of a session by #TheJuniperCollective and ended up purchasing my favourite of the night a bottle of @sandymountdistillery Tī Kōuka Forest Gin.

Imagine my surprise to see they are hosted on #mastodon at https://nzserver.co

Now I just need to get them posting about their amazing distillery.

#SpektrumDerWissenschaft lädt mich zu einem #WhiskyTasting mit @Fischblog ein. Das hört sich prinzipiell sehr interessant an, aber es findet leider online und nicht in Heidelberg statt.

Das Format hatte ich bei @penninger während Corona ausprobiert. Da fehlt mir die in-persona-Komponente, wie ich bei einem #GinTasting in Behringersmühle herausfand.

Ich wünsche allen Teilnehmern eine tolle Veranstaltung!

I'm planning a gin tasting evening and wondering how many gins to bring along.

Format of the evening: I'll talk guests through each gin, just enough to get an idea of what it's about. I'll also share brief overview of how gin is made, and have some fun with a gin aroma training kit. We'll taste each gin neat, then add ice and a mixer to finish it off.

So, imagine you're at an event like that. How many gins would you prefer to taste?

Good tasting day today, handed out a few 10/10 perfect scores. Only a couple of duds. Lists for all but two flavour groups starting to look fairly settled and complete.

Can't say yet which ones got top marks - got to keep something back for the book! - but I can say one was French, one was South African and two were English.
