Episode Synopsis

Join the "Gin and Jandals" podcast hosts as they dive into Bluff Gin from the very bottom of New Zealand. They explore the fascinating story behind its unique glass buoy bottle, inspired by local legends of protecting whales from Japanese whaling nets. Find out if this classic London Dry gin, with its six botanicals including juniper, lemongrass, and hibiscus, lives up to its award-winning reputation. Will the hosts agree on whether it's a "bracing bluff winter's day" in a glass or just a "boring" classic? Tune in for their honest tasting notes, discussions on the perfect tonic pairing (and the not-so-perfect ones!), and whether this gin is best for showing off or savoring solo. Plus, stick around for a hilarious debate about the potential of a mutton bird gin!
