That will have caused a sloe down! Have three tankers of tonic and my wife and her friends been dispatched, they'll have it cleared up in a couple of hours.

Just be some serious monies worth literally down the drain.

I'm on my way with a mixed load of limes and lemons, there will be a delay while I collect a slicing machine.

One of three motorway closures I had to divert around last night.

intrigued by the concept of ‘concentrated gin’ now though

Just add water to dilute, to a lower abv innit.

I assume it will be the base spirit used. A lot of the manufacturers buy in the base rather than make it from scratch and then add the flavourings.
By "concentrated" I think it will just mean its a rather high ABV since it gets watered down in the process.
So be closer to rather strong vodka than gin.

Any sign of the reanimated corpse of the Queen Mum stumbling north up the M1 yet?

The make gin by infusing grain alcohol with their chosen botanicals. At that point it’s gin but at about80% abv.It will be shipped to the bottling plant at that strength and then watered down to about 40% abc.(no point paying to transport the extra water)

Best place for it, horrible tasting old womans drink. Might give the drains a bit of a clean out I suppose!

MarkBrewer - a high five for you my good man! I can’t comprehend the sudden resurgence and interest in a drink that tastes like it belongs under the sink in a container with a child proof lid. It’s a drink for old people who have taste buds that have been ravaged by time.

I used to compare gin with perfume. Always thought it was nasty shite.
Couldn't abide whisky either but now love both.
Still detest the taste of cucumber.
