Discovery Of Craft Gin

A personal spiritual journey towardsfinding that perfect drink.

- Anirban Das Blah

IT IS SAID that with age comes wisdom and self-awareness. So, it is in that spirit of self-awareness that I must admit that for a large part of my life I was a barbarian.

Like most young people who leave home at an early age, my youth was spent drinking the cheapest alcohol possible: Gilbey’s Green Label whiskey, Romanov vodka, Haywards 5000 beer, Old Monk rum. I lived in Sweden where every Friday we would stock up on five-dollar supermarket wines. To say that my approach was more driven by value than quality would be a generous way of looking at it.
