Huck 50: Easkey Britton. Read the whole piece here: Easkey Britton. May 12, 2015. Canadian winters, communist wars and late-90s inertia: Meet post-punk band Viet Cong. Canadian four-piece Viet Cong, featuring former Women and Chad VanGaalen musicians, reveal some of the motivations behind their controversial output.

Thyme is one of the few plants that I seem to be able to keep alive in the overgrown patch of weeds that I generously call the ‘herb garden’. It’s always there, looking healthy, no matter how much I brutalise it for sprigs. As a botanical in gin, thyme isn’t exactly common but it seems to be making an appearance here and there; notably Gin Mare. On the nose, thyme seems to add a subtle tangy, herbaceous note to the aroma of the gin. Given the...

My quest for the perfect gin and tonic. December 19, 2014. Gin botanical: Caraway Seed. When I was a child, my mother made caraway seed biscuits. In recent years, with fond memories of these treats, I sought-out a recipe and made some of my own. Neither my wife or son liked them, so I never made any since. More recently, I added some to a batch of home-made sauerkraut. Caraway isn’t the most common of gin botanicals but it crops-up here and there. Hendricks. Boodles and Adnams First Rate. Caraway is a ve...

http://juniperdiaries.co.uk/gin-reviews/berkeley-square-gin
My quest for the perfect gin and tonic. December 20, 2014. December 20, 2014. Berkeley Square Gin is the brother of Bloom Gin. Pah, tell that to my pink shirts. Okay, I will stop with the deliberately over-the-top stereotyped descriptions. Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself. Unless you count the kaffir lime leaves. Also, while only one root is far from rare, it’s more common to see two or three. The distillation run is then carried-out slowly over another 24 hours. Powerful, intense and very complex.

My quest for the perfect gin and tonic. December 22, 2014. Gin Botanical: Lemongrass I’ve tried cooking with lemongrass a few times, with little success. It’s put to heavy use in Fentiman’s Tonic Water and, as a gin botanical, it makes an appearance in Bombay Sapphire East, Farmer’s Gin and Monkey 47. Lemongrass: Facts The oils in lemongrass are a potent insect repellent and lemongrass can […]. Read the rest of this post. December 21, 2014. December 21, 2014. Read the rest of this post.

My quest for the perfect gin and tonic. December 21, 2014. December 21, 2014. Gin Botanical: Kaffir Lime Leaves. I’ve got no reminiscence about Kaffir Limes, or its leaves. Kaffir Lime Leaves: Facts. Kaffir lime leaves and fruit are commonly used in various Eastern cuisines, typically Thai, Lao, Vietnamese and Cambodian. The rind of the fruit is commonly used in Thai green curry paste, and the leaves are used to add citrus fragrance to chicken dishes, among other things. Kaffir Lime Leaves: Nose. Image c...
