I never make any secret that my drink of choice is Gin and I’ve got many different kinds, but I’ve recently discovered a totally new one. Mainly because I was given it as a gift.
It’s called Porthleven Gin – and comes from Cornwall. You can’t buy it in any Supermarket. It comes from a very small village – funnily enough called Porthleven and is made in the large area behind someone’s house.
However, if you go online and type in Porthleven Gin it will take you to the link and show you exactly where it’s made and you can buy it from there.
So last night, I poured myself a glass, and tasted it, without the tonic at first and thought – yes……….this is different……and then added the tonic and thought…..I’m not sure….then……this is nice……this is really nice……I’ll have another one…….
You could tell it was Gin but not the gin that we’re used to. In fact it was really good. So if your’e looking for something different, why not go and take a look at Porthleven Gin? It might be more expensive than the kind you find in the Supermarket, but do we Gin loves worry that much? And it does come in a big bottle. It’s not as though you only get a couple of glasses out of it. It will last you a long time.
