Since we are big fans of gin, we are always excited when we find something new to try. Recently, we reached out to the person who had previously given us two vodkas from Humboldt Distillery to thank her and to let us know if we could be of any help to her in the future. Much to our happiness and surprise, she offered to send us two more samples! One of them is a wine that we will be featuring on a future podcast and the other is what we are trying today. For this episode we will be trying the Gray Whale Gin from Golden State Distillery. Every year the Gray Whale makes a 12,000 mile migration from the Baja Peninsula to the Arctic and this small batch gin celebrates that journey. It features ingredients that can be found at different locations in California along the journey, including limes from Baja and mint from Santa Cruz. Another cool thing is that a portion of the profits support Oceana, the largest organization in the world solely devoted to marine conservation. Also, it comes in a cool blue bottle. What did we think? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below or join us live on Thursday nights to give us your feedback while we are live streaming on Twitch.
