Welcome to episode 24 of the AboutBeverages.com podcast! In this episode we will be tasting something very close to our hearts; gin. We think we proved with our previous podcast and the follow up “Give It A Shot” (which can be found here and here) that the gins we tried (and many of the new wave of “boutique” gins) are definitely NOT your grandfather’s gin. They have a wonderfully mesmerizing balance of flavors and delicate nuances not found in other spirits. That being said, we have another batch of gins to try today that we hope will take us up another notch in our appreciation of this amazing libation. Since our last gin podcast, we have found another friend of the show who appears to love gin even more than we do! This is evidenced by the fact that he happily provided three of the four gins we will be trying on this podcast. His name is Eric (not Eric Greene, but this Eric’s last name also begins with G) and he and Keith work together We will be tasting three new gins along with our favorite from the previous round, Hendrick’s distilled in Scotland. The new power trio of gins that Eric brought with him to the tasting room are: 209 from Distillery No. 209 in Napa, Spruce from Rogue Spirits in Oregon, and Nolet’s Silver from the Nolet Distillery in Holland.
