Sweet Libations: Zymurgorium Sweet Violet Gin

Last year I attended the Gin Festival at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds! A whole festival dedicated to fantastic gins from all over the world. buy Lyrica online ireland It was at the festival that I first sampled Zymurgorium’s Sweet Violet Gin and had to buy a bottle right there and then. crestor 20 mg price cvs This sweet and fragrant gin liqueur has been flavoured with Violet and it is just superb. Every time I taste it, I’m thrown back to childhood with the familiar and somewhat nostalgic taste of Parma Violets. It’s sweet and flavourful and I found it most enjoyable as a treat either before or after dinner. As it is quite sweet, I wouldn’t recommend more than one or two glasses at a time. That’s why I really enjoy it as a precursor to dinner or with desert. This gin was a definite hit with the family and our guests over the festive period and at any dinner parties we have. It was great for entertaining and became a great talking point

Around the world in 6 gins: a gin-tasting adventure

Recently, I had to buy a present for my parents, so I went with something that was perfectly aligned with their (and my) love of gin. (If you’re anything like me, you’ll just love buying a gift for ‘them’, that’s really a gift for you). Being a true ‘wegie’, and discovering the wonderful marvel that is Cup and Gin71, I decided that going back to the motherland (Glasvegas) for a gin tasting would be the perfect present and win me the much coveted title of ‘favourite child’. And thus, vouchers for Gin71’s new location, Virginia Bar, were purchased. Each session starts with an overview of juniper and gin, and is followed by the tastings of 6 different gins. On this occasion, we attended the “Gins from around the world’ theme tasting session. As Scots, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to first-rate gins, so it was a fantastic opportunity to try some gins we wouldn’t normally have tried.

As a Glasgow born boy and having grown up and lived in the west coast of Scotland for near enough all of my days, I guess it may come as a surprise to many that I had never visited the beautiful Isle of Arran. That is until the ripe old age of 24. Last autumn, I was fortunate enough to be taken on a weekend getaway across the water to a beautiful hotel in Lamlash. A hotel with the most gorgeous views of the Holy Isle.  It was a wash out, but nonetheless a fantastic weekend. buy amoxicillin walgreens This year, to relive the magic, we found a brilliant deal for a lovely boutique hotel, Altachorive, and packed our bags. where can i buy ciprofloxacin over the counter Now we should have learned from our past mistakes… Just in case you are wondering, November weather does not bode well for holidaying in Scotland – especially when you have to travel by boat. The journey there was spent, head between knees, trying not to share what I’d had for my lunch with innocent bystanders. Still,
