A savoury, umami gin from Ireland with a costal kiss and a spicy kick.

They make it with five different kinds of seaweed.

(This was a free sample for my book, BTW.)

I have info on c.300 gins in a spreadsheet that I need to copy into markdown files. These will form the basis of the tasting notes that end up in the book.

I could write a quick and dirty Python script to extract what I need, populate templates, and save the files into the appropriate folders.

OTOH it's been months since I last coded anything and I am NOT up to speed. It *might* be quicker just to do it all by hand.

Hmmm... 🤔

Strange thing: while writing this morning about tasting technique, the voice I heard in my head was not my own but that of Nadja from What We Do In The Shadows.

It kind of worked though.

I'm writing about tasting technique in a book about gin.

Can I get away with 'spit or swallow' as a heading or is that too much filth?

(I'm also running an identical poll on the bird site, and wonder if/how the results will differ.)

If you look in my calendar for this morning, you'll see it says "writing." Instead, I'm hitting the spreadsheet and emailing PRs. Have to say, I'm OK with that.

Now stop creeping on my calendar, you weirdo!
