You have just purchased a new bottle of Gin and you
are excited to get stuck in and have a few G&Ts, and rightly so. However before
you dive on in I would suggest that you get to understand this Gin and where it
fits compared with other Gins. This knowledge base will make the whole Gin
drinking experience so much more enjoyable. First of in order to get a clear
picture of the Gins taste you need to have a frame of reference I suggest
picking 3-4 other Gins and trying your new Gin back to back with these other
gins.
Trust me this is half the fun of Craft Gin and
what better way to spend an evening/afternoon.
One of the best things about Gin is that once its
opened you can simply put it back into the cupboard ready for next time. This
makes it ideal for regular taste and compare sessions allowing you to build up
a strong flavour memory/patchwork to reference and allowing you to
better understand the gin category as a whole
