Still Magic

Episode 30 – 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.

In today’s episode with my special guest Glenn McPhee – co-founder of the The Gin Boutique – we consider 3 superb products from different parts of Australia

Underground Spirits @ 40% from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Flowstate Brewers and Distillers @ 40% from The Surf Coast, Victoria

Taylor and Smith @ 46% from Hobart, Tasmania

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

Here’s what in store for in today's episode

• 00:00 – Introduction to Canberra Palooza
• 07:28 – Underground Spirits’ background story
• 11:43 – Flowstate Brewers and Distillers’ background story
• 15:00 – Taylor and Smith’s background story
• 19:43 – Gins neat
• 31:34 – Gins with tonic
• 43:48 – Martinis
• 56:04 – Southsides

Each has contrasting delivery styles that clearly express their respective makers' intent. In short, delivering “delicious" in so many ways.

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

Our heartfelt thanks go to Claudia Roughley of Underground Spirits, Shaun Bridges from Flowstate Brewers and Distillers, and Natalie Taylor & Ben Smith for your contributions to this episode of What Makes a Great Gin.

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.
