I Bought a £75 box of Christmas Spirit. Was It a Mistake?
For those who follow my usual exploits, you'll know my channel is typically reserved for the noble pursuit of pickled onions. However, with December upon us and MrsVark admitting she wasn't exactly brimming with Christmas spirit, I decided a change of pace was in order.
So, I bought a pile of Christmas spirit—literally. A gin a day until Christmas, courtesy of the Drinks by the Dram Gin Advent Calendar.
Naturally, I had to rope MrsVark into this nonsense.
Day one kicked off with a satisfying punch through the cardboard door, revealing a tiny, wax-sealed bottle. After a brief struggle with the wax, we unveiled our first tipple: Sipsmith's Raffles 1915 gin.
As for the verdict... well, it was certainly a gin. It was the first of 25, after all. Let's just say there's plenty of time for things to get more interesting. Or not. We'll see.
Here's the video of our inaugural tasting. See you tomorrow for day two.
