One thing that i learnt is that #Tasmania has many boutique #whiskey and #gin #distilleries

They are all there wth $200 bottles..
"Would you like a taste sir?""

Dont mind if i do.

Are you getting the hints of oak on this, getting peat on that one?"

"Mate all im getting is smashed!
See you next sunday!

By the time I left I was half cut.

We love the Tasmanian landscape and we want to leave it as a better place than when we found it. Being a Tasmanian gin means that we are using Tasmania?s carbon-negative processes to create our gin. The state of Tasmania has one of only three officially designated ?negatively carbons? in all world, which means you can enjoy a drink with environmental responsibility. We are proud to be a part of the small but growing community encouraging sustainability. theGin.au

Liquid Bewitchment: Gin Drinking in England, 1700–1850 via The Public Domain Review [Shared]

The introduction of gin to England was a delirious and deleterious affair, as tipplers reported a range of effects: loss of reason, frenzy, madness, joy, and death. With the help of prints by George Cruikshank, William Hogarth, and others, James Brown enters the architecture of intoxication — dram shops, gin halls, barbershops — exploring the spaces that catered to pleasure or evil, depending who you asked.

Booked it! I got my Dad a bottle of Stockport Gin for Xmas, I'm yet to taste it! However, as a treat for me, Mrs. C and the boy, we've booked a distillery tour in April. A double G&T on arrival and another part way through the tour. After the tour I'll guide Conor on his first visit to some of Stockport's excellent boozers. No Robbie's for me, though, it's not vegan! Can't wait! #gin #StockportGin #Stockport #GinTour #GinToot

An incredibly delicious (not) gin and tonic tonight. Made with my homegrown (not) gin that I distilled with all homegrown ingredients of cypress, coriander seed, lemon balm, elderflower and oak moss.

A big shout out to @drinkswriter his book about gin opened my eyes to the vast varied amounts of different ingredients that can go into gin and inspired me to try to make a completely homegrown gin. It turned out so much better than I expected. I'm stupidly proud of myself.

Day 17 of 30 Days of Local Food: The Craft Gin Trail

I couldn’t decide which of local gin distiller to highlight for my 30 days, so I’m lumping them all in today. Distilling is one of this part of the world’s oldest industries, and this area is home to some historically significant ones (Seagram’s). Regulation changes brought in a new crop of craft distillers. I visited many of them this summer. Each has their own takes on my favourite spirit, and most have other spirits on the go (whisky, rum, voddy, etc) as well as premixes.


Silver Fox Distillery - 7999 Wellington Rd 109, Arthur
Elora Distilling Company - 102 Metcalfe St, Unit 4, Elora,
Dixon's Distilled Spirits - 355 Elmira Road north, Unit 106, Guelph

A delightfully playful take on a gin rickey using Silent Pool Gin, Thatchers elderflower liquor, fresh muddled lime juice, diced cucumber, and a strawberry heart-shaped marshmallow simple syrup made by @Sebalicious and I. Perfect for two gin lovin' lovers to share while cooking a Valentine's weekend meal 😘 💘
