About ‘The Gin Shelf’

Hi there!

And thanks for stopping by ‘the Gin shelf’!

I’m a 30 something year old Gin enthusiast, Birmingham born & bred, and now living in Leeds with my beautiful (and eternally patient) Wife Emily.

Whilst I will happily go on record as stating ‘I’m not an expert’ in the Gin field, I do have a passion for this Juniper based beverage and hope you enjoy a few whimsical & (hopefully) informed reviews, monologues and rants that I’ll post as I taste my way through the Botanical garden (excuse the pun).

I’ll be writing about various Gins, giving you the low down on my opinions and experiences, as well as occasionally side tracking in to the world of Cocktail making (my second love!) and interesting drinks venues/events that I visit.

All pieces and opinions are my own and importantly I ask that you don’t just take my word for it. I actively encourage you to try these wonderful drinks for yourself to see if you agree or disagree with my views.

Cheers! Now, where did I put my G & T?…
