#Ginvent I bid this guy farewell before catching my flight yesterday. Good memories from the past three and a bit weeks. Thanks to all the other tasters, and to @theginblog and @GinFoundry for hosting. Have a great Christmas everyone 🎄

#Ginvent One Gin, verdict - not an absolute stunner but a strong contender, and a fab way to round off our Ginvent journey 👍

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent One Gin, taste: the palate starts quiet but then finishes with a punch. That sage is still there. And the menthol too. But the citrus is closer to orange. And a good dose of pink peppercorn to finish.

#Ginvent One Gin, nose: nice and boozy! Very herbal. Bizzarley, loads of sage. Menthol. Cassia bark. And a twist of lemon.

#Ginvent Day 24 - I promised an exotic location last night and here it is. Tonight’s final tasting is @TheSpiritOfOne, live from Santiago 🇨🇱

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Not sure what time I'll be doing tomorrow's tasting...but it'll be happening far from home. Looking forward to the final day 😊

#Ginvent Ableforth Bathtub Gin, verdict: not overly fussy but a solid gin. Good job guys!

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Ableforth Bathtub Gin, palate: oh, that's nice. A spicy sweetness, but it's not overwhelming. A good juniper profile. A touch of orange. And a wee touch of pepper on the finish.

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Ableforth Bathtub Gin, nose: its very fruity. But a slightly artificial chewy that you might find in tuck shop sweets. Quite sweet with a slight citrus zing.

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent FYI, tonight's Tweets are scheduled. I'll be flying over the northern England just now ✈ I'll give any followers and fellow Ginvent-ers a wave 👋👋👋

#Ginvent Day 23 - hopefully tonight's bathtub gin from @Ableforths will be good enough that I'll want to steep myself in it afterwards 😂

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Persie Sweet and Nutty, verdict: I can't deny that they got the name spot on. And I liked the palate. But that fusty, nutty nose you get every time you go in for a sip is putting me off.

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Persie Sweet and Nutty, palate: aaaaaand there's the sweetness. Tastes much better than it smells. Juniper. Some light lemon. A more almonds on the palate.

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Persie Sweet and Nutty, nose: that's REALLY nutty. Walnuts, cashews, almonds and hazelnuts. But sweetness? Not yet.

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

@theginblog Can I just put my feet up tonight then? #Ginvent

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Day 22 - tonight’s gin from @PersieGin promises to be sweet and nutty. I’ll be the judge of that!

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

@Cloisters_Bar Haha - of course not, as it still doesn’t exist!!

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

Ginvent Mason's Lavender Gin, verdict: not for me, I'm afraid...

[The Finest Cut @TheFinestCut]

#Ginvent Mason's Lavender Gin, palate: juniper, cardamom, lavender...but so much fennel 😢😢😢
