Today’s video is all about Gin! This is an essential bottle to have behind your bar, but with so many producers and styles to choose from, it can be overwhelming. To further understand this category of spirits, we’re going all the way back to the beginning. We’ll cover gin’s history, some various styles, a few of my go-to gins, and of course we’ll taste along the way! With new expressions of gin continuously being introduced, there’s no need to feel intimidated. This is an exciting time to explore new bottles! Cheers!
