About
Hi. I’m Sue, a Norfolk UK based writer, ‘ginthusiast’ and home distiller with a love of craft gin, and this is my gin blog. I’m an avid craft cocktail fan too.
In 2017, inspired by the craft gin revolution, I bought a tiny 4L air still which I modified to distil within a tenth of a degree. At the time I knew nothing about distilling. Although I was a keen cook in the kitchen and loved experimenting with flavours. I quickly learned through a lot of trial and error and internet research. And I’m still learning.
Crafting a good gin with carefully selected botanicals is, for me, no different to baking a cake. You wouldn’t bake a cake with inferior ingredients as you wouldn’t distil with less than great botanicals. Get it right and the result is delicious. Get it wrong and unlike baking, you can always distil it again.
For the Love of Gin is the online expression of my enthusiasm which I hope other gin lovers will find informative and enjoy reading. I am not an expert, just an amateur who likes to experiment. I enjoy sharing gin reviews, recipes and cocktails that anyone can create.

This website represents my honest and independent personal views on gin. If I am sent a gin to review I will make that clear at the outset of the post. I also only review gins and products I genuinely like and would buy myself.
All content is copyright unless stated otherwise. If you do want to use any of my gin wisdom for your own use then please ask first. It is only polite and I might say yes.
There, that should do it. Now let’s get on to the gin.
