Yesterday's gin advent calendar catch-up session featured a gin that tastes like Jaffa Cakes and another that caused a domestic disagreement. MrsVark also lost the ability to speak just as we started recording (not due to drinking), but soldiered on. It's all going swimmingly.

Day 12 of the Gin Advent Calendar is on the blog.
We were a few drinks in before we started this one. The gin was Caorunn Scottish Raspberry. MrsVark declared it "the best one I've tasted." Her judgment may have been impaired.

Today's gin: Edinburgh Gin Raspberry. It's red, it's 40% ABV, and it caused a brief, entirely over-hyped disagreement in our house. MrsVark says it tastes of raspberry; I remain unconvinced.
The full, mildly contentious review is on the blog. Prepare to be underwhelmed by the conflict.

With Sha out of action due to FND/CFS, Day 4 of the gin advent calendar was a solo tasting of Darnley's Navy Strength Spiced Gin. At 57.1% ABV. It was a formidable opponent, especially with an evening of casework and admin still to get through.
There's a video for those who like to watch, and a written review for those who prefer to read. Find out if it was a quality gin or a spectacular mistake.

The gin advent calendar saga continues. MrsVark is out of action, so I'm reviewing Day 3's gin (Tanqueray) solo, from bed. It's all going swimmingly.
After yesterday's cleaning fluid incident, find out if this one restored any faith in my £75 investment.
Edit: Now with the correct video embedded in the blog post.
