Online Gin Tasting

This is great. I wish more people would put expert spirits tastings online because they're really helpful- at least they are to me.

The people at GinTime.com sponsored this gin tasting that's hosted on DrinksBusinessTV.com. A tasting expert leads the audience through tasting eight gins- Beefeater, Blue Coat, Hendricks, Martin Millers, Tanqueray, The London Gin, Plymouth, and Whitley Neill. She does is by drawing a chart with six axes and mapping out a flavor chart with common gin characteristics- juniper, citrus, rooty, spicy, floral, and sweet- as she tastes each brand.

It's really handy in figuring out what to look for when tasting gin in general, and perhaps worth picking up a few of these gins to taste along with her at home. You don't need them all to get good information out of it though.
