Whilst on my recent visit to Guernsey just a short while ago I was fortunate enough to meet a few individuals that were over there preparing for their launch of a new Gin, whilst sat in the hotel bar. They were a good bunch of boys and we ended up spending most of the night discussing football and several other significant subjects.
During one of our talks they had reason to to tell me what they were doing over in Guernsey, and that was getting ready for the launch of their new business venture; the launch of Oliver Twist Gin.
Obviously when I was told this I was quite excited as I had never met anyone before that actually owned a gin, and being quite a fan of the odd gin and tonic at the end of a tough days slog. I though I may as well ask them if they had a sample with them that I could try.
Fortunately for me they actually did and went and got a bottle from their room that we sat down and polished off before long, and I should say it was such a refreshing gin with a subtle citrus flavor.
I'm certain you can imagine that a good night was had by all, although our meetings the morning after were not quite as productive as they might have been.
They were such a fair set of guys that we exchanged numbers and organized to meet up next time we were all in Guernsey together. One of the guys even left two bottles with the hotel reception so that I could take some home for my wife to try.
Of course she was over the moon with the exclusive present that I brought her back from my visit to Guernsey, and we are both eagerly awaiting the launch so that we can get some more of it.
