Gin Thread!

will be reviewing these in the coming days. Took a trip to Vancouver for my son to play in a hickey tournament. Spent 2 days in Washington visiting friends and family. Washington has an a lot of very small distillers making gins. I only bought 3 bottles but could have purchased 10-12 was very frustrating trying to decide.

I would like to digress for a moment on how uncomfortable most of the parents must have been, being forced to watch that tournament. I understand now why the gin may have been a salve of types. Odd activity, that.

Read about this Gin a while back and while at Total Wine in Delaware tonight saw they finally carry it! German Gin made in the Black Forest! But the price tag for 375ml kinda went up my ass! When I'm in a better spot financially I will def be buying this! Any of you Ballers can get your hands on this please post a review!

Speaking of Delaware there is a new distilary in Smyrna, De (just north of Dover) that makes wiskey, vodka, and gin. I heard it is pretty good stuff.

Speaking of Delaware there is a new small cottage industry distilary in Smyrna (just north of Dover) that I hear makes some pretty good spirits. The place is called the Painted Stave in the old movie theater.

Damn this thread grows!!

will be good to keep in mind the Schwarzwald one when i'm over in Germany.

Peter: is that a Canuckistani bottling? or is it regular British?

Speaking of Canuck liquors, i just got a bottle of Ungava Canadian Gin. It's yellow and unfiltered. Looks like flat mountain dew. trying it now:
It's 43.1% but tastes stronger than my standard 46er Botanist. What i first notice is the fact that it tastes like sprite. pairs well with the oregano lamb shoulder i had 10 minutes ago. my mouth is feeling different

Neither. It's Minnesotan.
