March was one hell of a month! Alongside Mothers’ Day and my birthday, there were tastings, trade shows and a fair bit of judging as well as the first ever World Hanky Panky Day and even a bit of much-needed sunshine. And there was no shortage of booze news and new gin alerts either!

January was long, wasn’t it? Even if you weren’t doing Dry January (which I most certainly was not!). But the good news is we survived! It was also a pretty quiet month for me but there’s still plenty of booze news to catch up on, and a couple of new releases worth checking out, so do, please, give my first post of the new year a read.
