Has anyone tried Malfy or Sipsmith?

Sipsmith deserve credit for being the folk that opened the gate to small gin manufacturers throughout the UK.

They took HMRC to court because they wouldn't send out exise officers to anyone distilling amounts under the big players. Without the exise 'inspections' you couldn't sell your product. The little guy won out and small distilleries started up everywhere.

If you want a classic 'London Gin' there's is as good as any.

Chere’s for the information. I’ll try them out next time I purchase.

Sakura flower, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Sansho pepper, Sakura leaf and last but not least Gyokuro tea

[voodoo]

Fucken hate it when I lose a round of 21 and some prick gets me a shot of gin that doesn't have any Gyokuro tea in it

That too

@catogrande Ok. Delayed response but my mate made a vesper martini the other day. I liked it. Refreshing and fruity without being sweet. He used Belverdere Vodka and Quarantine Gin. Nice to sip.

@broughie replying to myself. But not too fruity though.

[dogmeat]

@broughie Lillet Blanc?

[broughie]

@dogmeat not a major ingredient.

Lillet Blanc is a French aromatized wine: a white wine infused with fruits, herbs and other botanicals. It was originally known as Kina Lillet, invented in 1887 and flavored with quinine. Lillet Blanc replaced Kina in 1986 and has a lower quinine content. It’s become popular in bars and restaurants for its crisp, floral flavor.

Lillet is actually a family of French aromatized wines. There are are several types of Lillet made of different wines: Lillet Blanc, Lillet Rosé and Lillet Rouge. What’s an aromatized wine? It’s a wine that’s fortified with brandy and then infused with herbs, spices, fruit or other botanicals. It’s a type of fortified wine like vermouth, but fortified wines have no extra flavors added.

Purely medicinal and minimal tonight... After this bottle is done I'm giving up gin. Probably alcohol actually.

Although...

Was it full when you started?

[A Former User]

@snowy yes last week... I'm not an alcoholicicic you know.

@r-l The "last week" was important rather than the ""tonight".
