Product Information

I look at it as if I'm creating brand ambassadors. The idea of creating something that has people laughing and enjoying - my mum always had an incredible table, always feeding people, she was the ultimate host. Gin school is that for me. Introducing people, connecting people, creating a memory.' It's a bold move for a company in a crowded market, but O'Neal, despite her modesty, is an experienced and confident entrepreneur. VAT rules are set to change post Brexit: here are the key points SMEs need to know so they aren't caught out

Tokyo Mobility Show's 20 best vehicles: Take a tour of the latest models, crazy concepts and bonkers left-field contraptions revealed by Japanese brandsThis year 58 and Co is launching a collab series, initially with a Sake brewery and winery, which will take the waste of other distilleries and turn it into a new product. The 58 Gin name had therefore run its course. How does your pension compare to the average saver's pot - and will you get the retirement you want? Chemicals boss Liam Condon shows his metal: But is the City listening to the multi-lingual marathon runner at the helm of Johnson Matthey? We meet in 58 and Co's distillery in Haggerston, east London, nestled between other budding startups keen to run their business from the iconic railway arches. It was an amazing time of discovery, not just of alcohol but the effects of alcohol in a pre-police society. There were no police and the only way that society was kept together was by everyone trying to force people into thinking that they had a very set class and were not allowed to move out of that. That was what got the gentry so upset—because if people don’t know their place, then we might get challenged.

Today, jenever is geographically protected. The way that they distil it is using a high percentage of barley. A lot of that base spirit comes through into the end product. If you distilled any alcohol all the way through to 96/97% ABV, you’d have vodka. If you did it to 60% or 70%, you’d have what is called, in the industry, ‘new make spirit.’ That’s the kind of stuff you’d put in barrels for whisky or Armagnac or Cognac or brandy. Jenever is that. Can you give an example of a bit of the history that you particularly like that people might not know about? He’s doing the tasting notes of the tonic water by themselves but there’s an implied pairing that’s a lot more general. I actually think that rule of thumb is more helpful than saying, ‘use Schweppes with Gordons and use this with that.’ It’s much more, ‘if you like that tonic, then this is the kind of gin that you might opt for.’ And vice versa.It was a bit light on Australian gins for me, but as the authors admit, there are so many gins coming to market every day, that it would be impossible to make this book a comprehensive list. Gin history has always fascinated me and this book brings the whole story of gin and its connection to London to life. O'Neal has a clear entrepreneurial flair but it was her mum's death that really pushed her to start her own business.

I don’t feel that his understanding of gin is anywhere near that calibre. I think he was asked to write a book by his editors because it was a trendy topic, as opposed to him having inherent knowledge. Has your small business been rejected for big bank funding?

From your point of view, what is your favourite gin? What would you buy in terms of value for money?Yes, which is why quinine seeds were absolute gold dust. The South Americans tried to ban their export. To get quinine seeds and smuggle them out of the country was quite an ordeal. There are a lot of good history tales about captains and adventurers who did just that to be able to propagate the seeds elsewhere. Business owners have become well-acquainted with the chaos at HMRC for years. One insider tells This Is Money about the reality of working there. Five Books interviews are expensive to produce.

What people don’t really talk about with ‘Gin Lane’—this illustration of a debauched, broken society—is the fact that it was commissioned by the beer industry.” Gin has become a crowded market as drinks manufacturers clamber to capitalise on consumer interest in the spirit.

As the name suggests this is an A-Z of everything you need to know about gin. It covers Ingredients, distilling techniques, tasting notes, interesting asides and features on many gin-based drinks from around the world. As she explains very well in the book, even in the first couple of years, people just didn’t know how to deal with it. People were literally drinking pints of gin because they thought that was okay and that’s how you drink alcohol, isn’t it? And then falling over dead. The big brands are still the lion’s share of volume in the UK. The big four or five gins that you can think of—Gordon’s, Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire etc—are still eighty percent of the market. So, of course, the bulk of the volume is theirs. The gin manual has carefully researched and detailed chapters on the history and production of gin, but really comes into its own when looking at individual gins. Shoffice politics! I want to build a work space in my garden - do I need permission and will it add value to our home?

The Spirit of Gin: A Stirring Miscellany of the New Gin Revival / by Matt Teacher & Arrigo Cipriani

By World War I, and even as late on as World War II, when the colonial era was coming to an end, it was in Indonesia that most of the plants had been propagated from their origin in south America. There are obviously way more than 300 gins to choose from these days (this book was published in 2015) – there are probably 300 different ones in Australia alone. However, Aaron’s style of writing is refreshingly approachable. Dave puts each gin into a ‘flavour camp’ e.g. Citric/Juniper, gives a short summary and then scores each gin’s performance in four different gin drinks – in a Gin and tonic, with Sicilian lemonade, in a Negroni and a martini. There are also an abundance of recipes for you to try too!
