We have found ourselves enjoying good gin more and more these days, and having tried most of the big brand stuff available in supermarkets from Bombay Sapphire and Tanquaray to the likes of Sipsmiths and Blackwoods etc, we set of to the Good Food Show yesterday on a sampling mission to buy some good quality Gin.

Gin of the day for us was Pickerings, a fairly new small Edinburgh distillery.

They had 3 gins available, their regular Gin based on an old 1947 recipe but adapted to modern tastes, a navy strength version of this (57.1%), and the original 1947 Bombay recipe gin which is more spicy, less Juniper and nothing like you expect a modern gin to taste like at all.

All three were amazing, and it was so difficult to chose which to buy we got one of each!

Anyone else have recommendations on interesting/craft/small batch gin's or whatever they are called, for when this lot runs out?
