Choices for the Gin lover by happypat

Choices for the Gin lover

A bit of a shop this morning….Harry managed to walk round Booths really well.
It’s not his hip that’s the problem just his stamina from the covid which has taken its toll.
We are getting there!
So many bottles of assorted Gin these days, everybody seems to be producing so many flavours.
I only looked as we have some left…I’m not a Gin snob…Aldi does me for everyday & special ones when we have visitors although we are drinking Bombay Saphire at the moment.
Desperation times when I’m posting Gin bottles.

Three good things:
1. Turned out a lovely sunny evening.
2. Watching a very exciting Grand Prix.
3. Dead heading flowers.
Thats a great looking shelf.. Gin is very trendy at the moment with lots of boutique ' ginneries' popping up.. just finished a bottle of Japanese Gin very nice with a slither of fresh ginger..
Suntory Roku..

@julzmaioro Ooh Julz never heard of that before… I shall have to look out for something like that. There are about four small gin distillers round here, mostly farm diversification’s. Black Powder Gin, Goosnargh Gin, Wild Fox Gin & another I can’t remember.

Great story on Country Calendar the other night of Lammermoor Station diversifying and making gin and Whiskey.. Gin and Bare it..

It’s hard to fin fully stocked shelves of alcohol/liquor in Charlotte. Apparently supply chain issues and staffing shortages are to blame.
It’s good to read that Harry is getting out and about. The Covid virus packs a terrible punch. Thank goodness for the vaccines. It likely would have been so much worse. Xx

It is amazing how everything is coming in flavors these days.

A very colourful display

Plenty of choice there and nicely displayed Pat ,

@julzmaioro Pat you've started something here. I had never tasted gin until a few years ago and now my kids keep looking out for new ones for me!!!
Caorunn an Avva Blink are the two favourites at the moment 🤣🤣

So glad Harry is on the go again and hopefully will have more energy day by day. XX

@sarah19 Those names are completely unknown to me…I wonder how many gin varieties there are in the world, must be hundreds!

I'm not a gin lover, but I like your colourful photo!
Glad to read the good news about Harry.

nice shot ... so organized
August 1st, 2021  
@julzmaioro Might have to travel Central to sample these, Julia!

And NZ is making lots and lots of gins - I like Dr Beak!
August 1st, 2021  
Wow what a variety, you could be completely sozzled if you sampled all of them.

Good to hear Harry is moving about better but sorry to hear the after effects of Covid is taking its toll.
August 1st, 2021  
Very colorful

Ha ha ... desperate times indeed. Nice shot though. I don't drink a lot of gin (although these days, I could definitely start) ... and couldn't tell one from the other. I do however LOVE all the beautiful bottles. I'll be looking out for Garth and Cathy in Braemar when I'm there as I'll be up and down a few times over the coming days/weeks. D-day is at the end of the month and there's still much to do at dad's house.

Dead-heading flowers is my only gardening duty! And apologies but it would be desperation times if I was drinking gin! A wonderful display, nonetheless. Good wishes to Harry.
August 2nd, 2021  
Wow, what a collection! Makes for a pretty photo with the mix of colours
August 2nd, 2021  
It's a tough choice! I'm like you Pat, I'll drink any 😁
August 2nd, 2021  
Beautiful collection of different gin bottles. I have Tanqueray a
and Gordon's bottles at home but never drink gin.
August 2nd, 2021  
Great capture. Nice for Harry to get out even if is for a short jaunt
August 2nd, 2021  
Just goes to show they have some bottle there. FAV
August 2nd, 2021  
Great choice.
August 2nd, 2021  
Now you’re talking!
August 2nd, 2021  
I have almost an identical picture only the case is filled with wine. You might want to take some close-ups of the labels as some of them are works of art (at least I found this to be true at our fav winery)
August 2nd, 2021  
@essiesue Might just do that Sue…the bottles are certainly very lovely!
August 2nd, 2021  
Gin seems to be a fashionable drink these days.
