Gin and Music

The Spirits Guide ·

2025/03/23

On this weeks episode, I am sitting down with my friend Glen, drinking some Gin, and talking about great music. Both Gin and music have such a wide variety of styles and tastes, that they make the perfect pairing. Hopefully this episode will inspire you to discover (or rediscover) both. It was such a great conversation, that it went on for over 2 hours, so I had to split it up in to 2 episodes. I really hope that you enjoy this one, as it is certainly one of my absolute
