Discover Gin Paperback – 20 April 2015

I bought this book for my Husband from my two boys for Father's Day. He likes to drink gin, he spends time looking at supermarkets to try a new gin. He always goes for the same bottle of gin as in the supermarket they don't give clear descriptions of the taste and what Fruits or foods might compliment each gin. I myself am not a gin drinker however I have looked through this very informative book, giving a selection of fine bottles of gin. Including pictures and inform oration about each one which will make the supermarket trip a lot easier as my husband will have an insight of which gin t go for. I also liked the fact that this book includes lots of cocktails you can make at home which I may make when we are entertaining friends.

I'm a Gin lover and this book/ magazine is really interesting and informative. A nice coffee table item to have for dipping in and out.

The recipient was well pleased with this gift I got for her. She is a gin lover & I thought this would be the perfect gift. Other members of the office were having a snoop, it's so informative & useful. Having flicked through it myself & also being a gin lover, I may treat myself to one.

I bought two copies - kept one for myself and then ordered another two copies!!!! A great book - lots of interesting features and information. Guess what people are getting for their Christmas!!!!

Stepmom was most pleased with this gift.She found it informative and nice pictures.Thanks

This book was described as 'used' but there was no sign that it had been read. It was in excellent, as new, condition. Some reviews have suggested that this is a book, but it is quite clearly an up-market magazine and none the worse for that, with a large A4 format. Covers a large number of gins but by no means not all the 200 or so that are currently available. The number seems to be increasing at almost a daily rate. I am quite a whisky fan/expert giving talks on malt whisky on a semi professional basis. With many new distilleries currently being planned and build (over 40 at the last count), many are also building the facility to produce gin which does not require a maturation period, unlike whisky which requires 3 years and one day of cask maturation, at the very least, before it can be legally sold as whisky. So the sale of gin can start immediately and helps with the cash flow for what is a very expensive start up period. I thought it was about time to learn more about gin production. I had hoped that this magazine would have covered the production process more fully but is only touched on very lightly. There are several good images of the equipment used but this is not the same as a detailed description. Never the less the description of the gins is interesting and good in its own right. It is really my fault that l did not study the contents of the magazine well enough before buying, but it was very cheap, so l have no regrets buying it. l will still give it four stars.

I cant make my mind up about this book, inside it looks more like an inflight magazine, I'm sure it is full of interesting information but on the surface it looks like its full of advertisements. It was bought as a gift for a Gin love that I don't know that well, I'm not sure if I would give it now.

Great read
