{"product_id":"gin-the-manual","title":"Gin: The Manual","description":"'You could not write a more sophisticated book or pack more detail onto each page...it is rocket science impressive'\nHuffington Post\n\nIn  recent years, gin has shed its old-fashioned image and been reborn as a  hot and hip spirit. The number of brands grows every day and bartenders  - and consumers - are now beginning to re-examine gin as a quality base  spirit for drinks both simple and complex.\n\nNow, with more brands  available than ever before, it is the time to set out what makes gin  special, what its flavours are and how to get the most out of the brands  you buy. With this book as your guide, discover:\n\n- How gin is made\n- What a botanical is and how they impact a gin's flavour\n- What the difference between Dutch, London, Scottish, Spanish and American gins is\n- How you drink them to maximise your pleasure\n- Whether there is life beyond the gin \u0026amp; tonic (yes!)\n\nThe  body of the book covers 120 gins which Dave has tested four ways - with  tonic, with lemonade, in a negroni and in a martini - and then scored.  In addition, each gin is categorised according to an ingenious flavour  camp system, which highlights its core properties and allows you to  understand how you can best drink it, and therefore enjoy it.","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32685995786325,"sku":"9781784725839N","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781784725839.jpg?v=1598876928","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/gin-the-manual","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
