Adventures With Gin, VOL 1.

Over the years, I have tried many non-beer alcoholic drinks so as to switch it up and appear slightly classier than I actually am. I've had a lurid love affair with Vodka that ended about 4 months ago when I realized that I cannot drink that shit any longer. Vodka is fine but I get so fucking hungover from it. I've come to realize that a "normal" alcohol hangover can be exacerbated by a gluten hangover, and even though there is a debate as to how much or if any gluten is in vodka, I think there definitely is some post-distillation gluten remnants

That's some science shit for ya.

What is strange for me is that gin doesn't fuck up my stomach like vodka does, even though there is supposedly some gluten in gin as well. Whatever, I love gin. I love the semi minty juniper berry flavor and I'd like to shake the hand of the man or woman who discovered gin. I would also give them an ITunes card because, music is great.

     
                                                        Thank you, Small Spiderman.

So my "Gin of the Moment" (or G.O.T.M) is Uncle Val's Botanical Gin. It's a little expensive, but really, all good gin is. This gin is full of real botanicals, which is awesome. It contains juniper, cucumber, lemon, lavender, and sage, which is really cool because it is made with actual ingredients and not chemicals.

                                               
                                                       This is where cheap gin comes from

This is a smooth gin that has a beautiful taste to it. I love Bombay Sapphire, but it almost goes down too easily. I mean, you could chug Uncle Val's, but the complex flavor lends itself better to sippin'.

Also, you could potentially impress someone by ordering this gin at a bar, if bars even carry this stuff.

Try it, it's great....or come over my house, I still have some left.

Thanks.
