@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social If you still need someone for your Edinburgh gig I am trying to characterise gin smells with AI to aid their authentication for my PhD. I am a Seasoned Queiver and a Perpetual Declan. I promise tangential chats.

Plans ahoy! Cuts have been made + muttering! I use different parts of my brain and engage creatively. It reminds me what it is to learn a new skill. This makes me a better teacher in my day job and a better maker.

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social another awesome podcast, I particularly enjoy the slightly more randomly convaluted style ones. How was the Whisky Sour? What are your cocktail proportions? Including the Aquafaba?

I would like to think the seasoned Queivers and perpetual Benjamin's would be able to tell the difference.

#drinksbythedram @jaffacakegin My word what a fusion of two of my favourite things....gluten free obviously Nose:Orange and Chocolate Unsurprisingly not much else beyond that.
Taste: Not overly sweet, Citrus, Chocolate quite faint with an strange aftertaste of marzipan at the finish.

Matthew Pauley @distillersnose.bsky.social · Dec 16

#drinksbythedram @benlomondgin_uk Nose: strong juniper on the nose with citrus complexity and a balance of spice at the end. Taste: It delivers on the promise made on the nose, is slightly hot on the finish.
A solid gin, no messing around.
