In this episode, we pull up a mic with gin expert David T. Smith, author of The Gin Dictionary. 

In this interview, some of the topics we cover include:

• The fascinating world of spirits judging and awards - essentially, all those cool medals your favorite distillers keep winning.
• How David fell in love with gin, and became the author of this gin-driven reference guide.
• A stroll through the most common botanicals used to make gin around the world.
• Some discussion of different gin styles, both old and new, dry and sweet, aged and unaged.
• How to properly operate a Martini tester
• Why Timothy Dalton might not be the worst James Bond (key word being might)
• And much, much more.
