Gin Tasting

One of James’ birthday presents from me was an online gin tasting, with Eden Mill, who are based in St Andrews. Ally isn’t keen on gin, and I don’t drink, so Cat joined James in the tasting session. The box of gin samples had been posted out to us last week, and I received an email advising me on what mixers and garnishes to purchase. These included rose lemonade as well as tonic water, ginger ale, and also hot chocolate! The garnishes were blackberries, slices of orange, basil and mint leaves. 

James and Cat logged in and soon got started on their gins, which were all different flavours, as the tutor chatted about the tastes and what to look for. They seemed to enjoy themselves. There were 12 different samples of gin in the box but they only tasted the first seven - twelve would have been too much at one sitting! The tutor emailed tasting notes for the remaining five. 

When they were finished we all watched the last two episodes of “The Great” which was very good and ended on a huge cliffhanger.
