Gin The Manual
The best gins in the world, and how to drink them - from one of the world's leading spirits experts, award-winning author Dave Broom.
"You could not write a more sophisticated book or pack more detail onto each page...it is rocket science impressive" Huffington Post.
Written by one of the world's leading spirits experts, award-winning author Dave Broom.
With more gin brands available than ever before, you need to know how to choose and get the most out of the brands you buy, understanding their flavours so you drink them in the most delicious way possible.
Award-winning spirits writer Dave Broom has tested thousands of gins from all over the world to choose the 125 selected to appear in Gin The Manual. As well as the gin selection, he has also tasted and scored each one four ways - in a G&T, a negroni, a martini, and with lemonade (a gin that's perfect for a martini may be exactly the opposite in a G&T). So not only do you get to drink the world's best gins, you get to drink them in the best possible way.
