Ditto, I head off on 26 Jan for work, although my better half is looking up my points balance and flight availability

Good News!
CELLARDOORS.CO is now adding Australian Distilleries to the platforms. We have discovered that there are more than 200 gin makers in the country and we have joined forces with the Australian Gin Awards and an exciting event called SYDNEY GIN PALOOZA. Many of the small batch distillers are within the walls of wineries and most certainly qualify as a cellar door.

To kick off the season we are offering you the opportunity to show your support for Aussie gin makers and purchase early bird tickets at preferred prices via this crowdfunding link - https://pozible.com/project/sydney-gin-palooza

I have to say that it's not my favourite either, but I still drink it!

So Bathtub Gin - you drink it IN the bath ? Or it was made in the bathtub ??

So my friend bought another Four Pillars Barrel Aged gin and we drank that side by side with the Reid and Reid Barrel aged and much prefer the four pillars.
I like the Botanist and I love the Four Pillars Shiraz gin but I'm sure it evaporates really badly because it doesn't take long and it's all gone.
Bathtub gin is good but for an unusual one the Wrecking Coast is excellent.
The Lakes gin is also quite interesting
We were also experimenting with different tonics and a wonderful night was had by all

I've tried Four Pillars in the QF lounge @ LHR T3, what's the appeal of the Shiraz version? Is it worth trying to find when I'm over in a few months time?

I drink it just on the rocks and it has just such a lovely smooth flavour. It sells out quite quickly because they don't make much. It's in the F lounge in Sydney. I'd definitely get some to try

How was the morning?

A little slower than normal but I've been a lot worse

There are just so many to try and I'm doing my best.

There seems to be an anomaly with the points price at QF Wine for Four Pillars Modern Australian gin. 7.5k QFF Points a bottle is nominally over 1c a point
