@r-l I don’t anything about Gin. How does it differ from scotch and whiskey. I willing to try.
Think good vodka but with many overlaying flavours which are usually quite subtle individually. It’s a very interesting spirit to sample, but takes a fair bit of involvement IMO.
Nothing like any type of whiskey.

Absolutely nothing in common with whisky.
There are quite a few different styles. I don’t really like the classic dry very heavy on the juniper berries style but this gin is very easy to drink with a tonic.

@r-l Explain a faux barbecue. Is there actual food involved, or just the intention of food?

I have been wondering that too.
Without being at all sexist, I wondered if the lack of men to set fire to things and "cook" large quantities of red meat may have dissuaded them from doing more than point at the BBQ, and then continued to drink.
Which is often a good plan anyway.

Always got a gordons in the freezer but this is my go to

Gin is relatively easy to make if the stuff my father concocts is anything to go by. Helps that he has been making base spirit for quite a while as a hobbyist even though the results as far as 'whisky' or 'brandy' leave a lot to be desired and are just flavoured spirit.
Thing is with gin is that all it really is is flavoured spirit and you can either infuse the botanicals in the mash,during distillation or after (bathtub gin). Or a combo of them all.
He tends to triple distil. First pass is making some alcohol. Second pass has some botanicals steeped in and third with some in the vapour.
Once you have done a few batches to get the balance and amount right it is a fairly easy process and the cost is quite attractive.
I am getting him to do me a batch of 6 bottles for $100 and it stands up alongside many $75 craft gins very easily. -

While I like a sneaky G&T in the summer, I generally view it as 2 absolutely horrible things mixed together to somehow make something delicious.
But that's my heathen view on the whole thing...
For the Oz-based Ferners... the following is something a mate of mine threw together...
