I started this year thinking I will do all my research and studying of gins. The history of gins, the manufacturing process, the different ingredients in different gins and the difference in gins by their origins. I also wanted to try out those gins in different cocktails and make a comparative study.

The good news is that so far, I have learned a lot. I mean a lot.

The bad new is that my original estimate of 26 gins in 52 weeks has now ballooned to 38 gins. I think I will continue with this in 2018.

In the meanwhile, I mapped out all the distilleries for these 38 different gins spread over 13 different countries in 4 different continents. Looked cool…

And here is the link to the map in case anybody wants to know more details: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1tsYujwbCei154Wv5BYBTQxUyn0I&ll=29.843387093543175%2C-80.20935361249997&z=3
