Much has been said about Tanqueray’s Flor De Sevilla gin. The 180-year old brand released its latest gin earlier this year, and it’s been flying off the shelves and filling up my Instagram feed ever since.

Gŵyr Gin
Drink
Inspired by the beautiful Gower Peninsular in South Wales, the first area in the UK to be designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Gŵyr is a bold new gin that you won’t forget.
Junipalooza 2018
Drink
The great gin gathering that is Junipalooza returned for its 5th year last week. Back at Tobacco Dock over the World Gin Day weekend, it gave gin fans the opportunity to taste gins from all around the world and meet the people behind them.
Graveney Gin
DrinkOne of my local gins also happens to be one of my favourites. South West London’s Graveney Gin has its home in Tooting Market, and it’s there where you’ll find their small but perfectly formed gin bar.
Giniversity Botanical Gin
Drink

Western Australia, however, can more than fight it’s corner as, while it lacks in the quantity of distilleries, it more than makes up for with quality of gin. Several of their distilleries have achieved top accolades from the global spirit community.

On Sunday we visited the Tobacco Dock in East London for this year’s Junipalooza event. Unfortunately we missed celebrating World Gin Day itself there on the Saturday but we were able to benefit from the Sunday’s slightly longer session which meant we could fit more gin in! Every cloud.
