Episode 143 - The Gin Is In

In this juniper-perfumed discussion with gin expert, author, and spirits judge Aaron Knoll, some of the topics we cover include: The story of how Aaron fell in love with gin at 3am at a dive bar in Buffalo, NY. How he developed his pentagonal (and later, hexagonal) visual representation of gin flavor profiles. We then do a sample tasting using this visualization to demonstrate how to systematically break down the flavor profile of an actual gin in the glass. In addition, we chat about some of the contemporary trends in the gin world How to distinguish a contemporary gin from a London Dry gin, from an Old Tom gin What trends Aaron is most excited about from his recent statistical analysis of Consumer Taste Preferences And much, much more.
