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.
You can bet your bottom dollar that when I was told this I was quite excited as I had never met a person before that really owned a gin, and being quite partial to the odd gin and tonic at the end of a tough days work. I though I might as well ask if they had a sample with them that I could try.
Fortunately for me they actually did and went and got a bottle from their room that we sat down and polished off before long, and I should say it was such a refreshing gin with a subtle citrus flavor.
I am sure you can imagine that a good night was had by all, even though our conferences the following morning were not so productive as they may have been.
They were such a reasonable set of blokes that we exchanged numbers and prepared to meet up next time we were all in Guernsey together. One of the men even left a couple of bottles with the hotel reception so I could take some home for my other half to try.
Obviously she was happy 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.
