Canadian immigrant tries British gin (and drinks too much)

If you're in or near Plymouth anytime, I can recommend Plymouth Gin. There's 3 types: standard, sloe and navy strength. You can also do a tour of the factory if you want.

[@PlayerWellKnown]

Done. Did the taste test there too. A great tour.

[@octaviuswhelkstall4661]

Very sensible to be very close to the floor before you started. I notice that the Gordon's bottle was very nearly empty right at the start, so perhaps a little "priming" took place

[@rogerwitte]

The distinctive taste of gin comes from juniper berries. The Dutch make a spirit with similar ingredients called genièvre (but I prefer gin).

[@martynadams2011]

Hi Alanna it’s mee ! Have you noticed that we Brits don’t order drinks by brand or name? Typically we ask for a ‘Gin & Tonic’ then get bombarded with questions about , which gin? Which tonic? ice? Lemon or lime? . In the US they are far more specific I.e. give me a Gordon’s and slimline Tonic on the rocks. I once went into a pub in Suffolk, into the Public Bar and asked for a G & T. The barmaid looked at me like I’d pee’d on her kids! I went through to the lounge bar with my drink to find that the whole bar was dedicated to gins. They had 1500 different gins, 20 different tonics, numerous sorts of fruit. The world of gin is enormous ! Can I recommend you try “Warner’s Rhubarb Gin” with ginger ale. You’ll love it - hopefully. Byeee.

[@Nottsboy24]

[@davidchristian8218]

About 10 years ago, I was on a backpacking trip, mainly through the Balkans and Eastern Europe. I spent 3 nights in Tirana, Albania - a must!! Me and some of the hostels guests went bowling. I wanted a beer, but the hostel manager told me that with every game you get a free G&T. Every game costs about £2!!! Whenever gin comes up, I always think of that time 😊

[@lbailey9607]

Charming as always! I too suspect that there were a few rehearsals for this video but it did result in a highly professional final product. The ratings were very helpful. I shall get rid of my bottle of Bombay Sapphire immediately - probably by drinking it to make room for another bottle of gin in my drinks cabinet. I think you should either try gins with elderflower or try some shots.

[@rogerhwerner6997]

Bombay Saphire! Perfect for extra dry martinis, gin and tonic, and gin gimlets! Great stuff!!! I do believe this might be the smoothest gin available. The Gordon's gin we get in the US is a well drink, not premium gin. It's great for sweet mixed drinks.

If you want to save money, try the gin and slimline tonic from Aldi, tastes really good, especially with some thin cucumber slices! Aldi gin is consistently rated highly in blind tastings ☺

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

Yes, here's another vote for the Aldi Gin. Easily beats Gordon's and at a better price.

[@dimrill7489]

May be a good idea for a couple of videos: homemade sloe gin. The slow berries are still on the bushes at the moment so foraging! Ours takes about a year of steeping before we drink it, but you could do a taste test of all the wild and wonderful shop sloe gins in the meantime :)

Hi, Alanna, that was absolutely brilliant, you really make very entertaining videos. This one looked really hard work but seemed rather enjoyable, not that I like gin.

Most quotable video yet? "Can you see me? Because I cannot see you." "It looks like old-school medicine, like arsenic or something. And I'm OK with that." "I don't wanna say 'natural', 'cause that sounds gross." Great stuff. Keep up the good work. Maybe stay off the gin for a while, though. As for me, it's 11.30 a.m. and I'm on the fine wine. My excuse? I'm taking Cassie the Cat to the vet today, and it scares me because it scares her. Turning up pissed will help me, even if it doesn't help her. 😁

Nice review Allana! I do enjoy a gin or two during the summer months... if your a fan of gin, next time your back in Canada, there is a great Canadian made gin I highly recommend you try, its by Black's distillery in Peterborough ON, in my experience of gin, this was probably one of the most flavourful and refreshing gin I have ever tasted. I think you would really enjoy it. 👍

Cheers!
