In 2021, we set oursleves ourselves a goal to work with some other podcasters and create some TBR collaboration episodes. This is the second such venture. The Scottish Alchemists run gin-tasting events in Scotland and their podcast is part of what they do. We sent them a gin – A Stokie Bottom Knocker (You can get yourself a bottle here : https://www.moorlandpottery.co.uk/moorland-pottery-ranges/stokie-oatcake-gin/bottom-knocker-70cl-glass-bottle.html – it’s a good one and they sent us a Marylebone London Dry Gin (You can get yourself a bottle here https://www.masterofmalt.com/gin/the-pleasure-gardens/marylebone-london-dry-gin/?utm_content=the-pleasure-gardens/marylebone-london-dry-gin¤cyCode=GBP&utm_source=database&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=mom_base_1&msclkid=f6c7f2a7e2d613aa5175929011c8f71a&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing-Shopping-UK-High%20Margin&utm_term=4579534650196331&utm_content=Everything%20Else – it’s a good one and a strong one!)
We taste-tested each on the podcast and tried to discern the flavours of each. It’s a great idea for a podcast – if you are a podcaster, We would definitely recommend you try it! We also tried some different garnishes including the now infamous Banana Dolphin that they had talked about on their podcast (FYI 2 days after hearing this on their podcast, I saw it on a show called Ultimate Food Fun that I was watching with my kids) – as a garnish it looks pretty good but is much too large. I need a micro-banana.
