While on my latest trip to Guernsey just recently I happened to meet some guys that were over there getting ready for their launch of a new Dry London Gin, while sat in the hotel bar. They seemed to be a good bunch of lads and we ended up spending almost all of the night voicing our opinions on football and various other important topics.
During one of our conversations they had reason to mention 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.
No need to mention when I was told this I was quite excited as I had never met anybody before that really owned a gin, and being quite keen on the occasional gin and tonic at the end of a hard days toil. I though I might just as well ask whether they'd a sample with them that I could try.
Happily for me they did and went and got a bottle from their room that we sat down and polished off before too long, and I need to say it was such a nice gin with a delicate citrus flavour.
I am absolutely sure you can imagine that a good night was had by all, even though our conferences the next day were not really so productive as they could 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.
