@PothecaryGin this could be the most limited, limited edition Pothecary Organic Gin ever, having discovered a small number (25) labels for Thai Blend, and having found sufficient distillates to blend this gin, it seemed fitting to do it! It will be on the website soon... #LimitedEdition #gin

@GoodBadRugby haven't seen a single reply agreeing with this selection, and nor do I. Borthwick seems incapable of selecting on form, or of keeping players in their best positions, and is asking for trouble with this selection, Fiji likely to win...

can't name it, but a gin brand is about to release a new variant... maybe this time it will taste like gin and not a fruit vodka, maybe even have some juniper in it, and maybe dispense with the 'secret' nonsense... know what it is? 🤨 may rhyme with shockmans!

@DouglasBlyde coca-cola man... and it's like liquid s@@t! Definitely not healthy, in any format, and likely to cause as many ill-effects as alcohol - in my opinion! Bias declared, I enjoy alcohol... without coca-cola... or any other sugar/saccharin/fake sugar, sweet/sweetener crap!

@andyjlennox and, the interest rate tool is not appropriate anyway, it relates to curbing excessive public spending on unnecessary items such as TVs, clothes, holidays, which is not the case now, it is increased spending on necessities; food, power, mortgage... we are being fleeced...😡

@andyjlennox exactly, we need a vat rise on real 'luxury goods' such as luxury yachts, penthouses, top-end cars, top-end tech, private swimming pools... and an increase of income tax on very high incomes, say £500k+, and global corporations... that would help... 🧐

@BBCFoodProg @JRetiarius @jaegawise @PothecaryGin organic Gin is definitely worth a look, working hard in the sustainability arena as a micro-distiller, distillery garden 'in conversion' to organic, always creating new and exciting spirits, using artisan methods and a focus on quality, local, & bespoke spirits too!

@GinsideStorry @SpiritsBeacon @Junipalooza @SpiritsKiosk interesting... sadly, considerably less uk distillers there compared to previous years; direct reflection of gin market in the uk, shrinking drastically, & therefore narrowing choice - it's the big(ger) distillers that can ride out the storm(s)-covid/cost of living/duty rise🤨

@juniperchick plans afoot... probably featuring the new Limited Edition organic Gin from Pothecary Gin, released on 10th June, World Gin Day - gives us a week to get our lips around it, so-to-speak!🤔🍸😋😎
