Jose posted:its raining so i won't be cutting the grass or drinking any gin today condolences. i drank some gin yesterday, if that helps sat through some short talk by a gin maker on gin recently. apparently basically all gin distilleries buy in really high-proof spirit and then water it down - distilled or spring water depending on maker - before infusing it with juniper etc. this surprised me because for some reason i thought everything was just sort of mashed up with juniper, fermented, and distilled direct

i don't get drunk often but when I do I trash myself very thoroughly using various hipster ciders and ales so yeah I don't think you can get fruity tasting gin so it's just not my cup of tea

i just don't get the appeal of hard liquor for the sake of itself like tequila is nice, sure, but literally 60% of that experience is the lime. why you would guzzle vodka down when you can get drunk pretty well consuming something that actually tastes decent is beyond me

Gin tastes like an old man took a long bath with some pine needles and then they drained the tub, took out the tub, and put it between two boxes to squeeze out the old man pine tree liquid that seeped into the tub and fermented that into gin.
