Golf Edition 19th Hole gin review
Down the Hot Hatch There have been many special versions of Volkswagen’s original launch in the 80s, from the GTI and R32 to today’s barely recognisable hybrid supercars, but I’m happy to report that Gin Lovers’ similarly titled spirit, which I gave a test drive at the distiller’s Lisbon headquarters, offers a stimulating but relatively […] The post Golf Edition 19th Hole gin review appeared first on Gin Blog .

Vánagandr Gin review
A gin with a bite … Still focusing on Iberian spirits our Gin Scouts, Bill and Lesley discovered the above on their visit to Spain but, I’m afraid, it’s another one you can’t find here in Blighty; unless your curiosity outweighs the cost of importing it. In fact, we’re beginning to think we should levy […] The post Vánagandr Gin review appeared first on Gin Blog .

Scapegrace Premium Black gin review
Black velvet in a bottle – This hand-crafted 41.6% gin from the land of hot springs may lack the muscularity of if its national rugby team, but it does – uniquely in our experience – share the distinctive colour of their shirts. And I should probably also report that despite having sampled gin from numerous […] The post Scapegrace Premium Black gin review appeared first on Gin Blog .

LE Tribute Gin review
A tribute to being fresh ‘n’ fruity Our gin scouts, Bill (pictured above) and Lesley, were rightfully pleased with themselves when they kindly presented us with a novel new gin – LE Tribute – which we had never previously tried, for it’s getting increasingly more challenging to find something we haven’t already written about since […] The post LE Tribute Gin review appeared first on Gin Blog .
