Stockholms Bränneri, Reid + Reid, & Wolf Lane

Still Magic

Episode 26 - Guardianship

Welcome to the Still Magic Podcast your one click audio stop for all things gin. Be it gin making, gin producing, gin distilling, gin manufacturing, gin commercialising, gin tasting, gin, drinking gin, steeping, and everything else in between.

Today’s episode takes the What Makes a Great Gin premise to a whole different level, by considering three gins from different parts of the gin firmament.

Wolf Lane Tropical Gin @ 42.5%, from Cairns, Australia

Reid + Reid Native Gin @ 42.0%, from Martinborough, New Zealand

Stockholms Bränneri Handcrafted Dry Gin @ 42.0%, from Södermalm, Sweden.

Research of this scale is very much a labour of love, and one worth sharing.

I’m delighted to have Glen McPhee – one of the co-founders of the The Gin Boutique – as my co-contributor on today’s episode.

Glenn gives a quick overview of his gin business journey before we launch headlong into putting these 3 magnificent gins through their paces. Each has contrasting delivery styles that clearly express their respective makers' intent. In short, “delicious" writ large in so many ways.

Their gin stories share the common themes you would expect from bold people enjoying what they love to do.

And the way they express this joy for life in these contemporary products, is proof positive that gin’s relevance and vibrancy is in good hands; the best is yet to come so jump in, belt up and hang on.

Be bold. Enjoy yourself. Let’s creative a new gin narrative.
