Gin Meets Top Of the Pops

• Today I am going to go through my top 5 gins. Just like top of the pops I am going to go in reverse order.

In at number 5

• Torn to choose some of the Whitley Neill other gins. Especially:-
• Blackberry
• Goosberry
• Number 5 has been chosen.
• It is Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin
• This gin tastes like raspberries on a summer day
• Tastes amazing on its own
• Not sure could have as liqueur but almost
• Great with Mediterranean tonic
• Working on Raspberry Daquari

In at number 4

• Very tempted to put in Chase which lost out by just a whisper
• Gin given as a present
• Also lots of amazing gin from Wales
• In at number 4 is Aberfalls
• Talked about this before featured it on Instagram
• Amazing flavour which is traditional London gin but very smooth
• The flavour follows through with almost a botanical taste
• Thoroughly recommend this.
• Would also be tempted to have this in a dry martini as well it is that good
• Quite delicate so be careful what you pair it with

In at number 3

• This spot was probably the biggest fight for gins.
• Love Brecon
• Love Mermaid
• Love Gunpowder
• However the winner and in at number 3 is The Botanist
• On Instragram you see how passionate they are about the botanicals
• You see them going live
• This is like a botanical taste sensation in your mouth
• There are some amazing ideas for using this in cocktails
• Also great with tonic. Again I would be careful about putting it with a strong tonic.

In at number 2

• Can’t lie no real contest
• My favourite London Dry Martin Miller
• They distill in the UK but they use Icelandic water
• Don’t think you can get a more crisp gin
• The best thing in dry martini
• Delicate flavour but smooths out any cocktail

In at number 1

• Difficult to decide between these other 4 but always knew that I would choose it.
• Whitley Neill Quince Gin
• Great on its own
• Great with tonic. I have not tried it with Elderflower yet but that was recommended to me very recently
• I would choose Mediterranean tonic
• In the UK very difficult to buy as a lot of supermarkets stopped stock it
• I may have to start a petition to get it put back in supermarkets !!
• Usually available on Amazon

• Shoutout to @ginqueen_kilpatrick.
• You always have some unique insight and great stories
• She always put her new followers in a story which is a really nice touch and something which I need to do more
• She is heavily involved with the gin blogging community which is definitely something I would like to be involved in

Final Thought

• The thing that I like about the gin community that I have met so far is that no one judges anyone for what they believe, what they look like or who they choose to be.
• The world would be a better place if everyone took that view.
• Grab your drink, toast those you love, enjoy your weekend and whether your decide to party or stay in I will be with you in spirit !!!
• Seriously though enjoy your weekend and I look forward to joining you for another episode next Friday.
• Cheers
