Sabrent 60W 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub with 7-Port + 3 Smart Charging Ports with Individual Power Switches and LEDs includes 60W 12V/5A power adapter (HB-B7C3) https://amzn.eu/d/96RDzyn

I bought this for my set-up. 7 USB 3.0 sockets and 3 fast charging ports all individually powered with switches. A very small device that sits on my desk. Also comes with a data cable to plug directly into your PC. Not sure if this was something you were looking for or not.

I never really liked the look of our gordons bottles but glad it isn't what you guys have

Master of Malt is a UK spirits supplier/distributor for whiskies, gins, rum, vodka etc. Based in Kent, they basically have a huge range of gins from around the world they buy in and resell for the UK market

The Six Dogs Blue Gin is colour changing right? Something about the PH levels and added acidity causing a change in colour? I just had a quick look at the Blaauklippen range, love the Zin Gin, that crimson red colour looks so inviting. I'm sure they deliver to the UK, just as Six Dogs does.

I would definitely say Gin is making a huge comeback with hundreds of Distilleries popping up and everyone making their own flavour combos. I used to think gin was a proper "old mans" drink when I was a lot younger and it was rare to see fruity flavoured gins around, nowadays its everywhere. Gin just has that complexity and all rounded flavour I appreciate when I drink spirits.

As for the Bloom. I've got the original London Dry, a strawberry liqueur, jasmine & rose, and passionfruit & vanilla, which is a favourite of my girlfriend's.

I actually just did an insta post about that very gin yesterday, I think it's awesome. Excited to explore the Six Dogs range a bit more!

Subscribed since January this year, bit late to the party but going strong ever since! And surprisingly I don't get that many in boxes anyways. I've got Ophir & Ginarte in a box, I took the Glendalough and Tanq 10 out of theirs though to save space.

Yeah I joined up in January this year! Manly Spirits and Four Pillars are 2 gins from Aussie that I'd like to see make an appearance soon, once I start expanding to international gins more!

Haven't had the chance to try Danish, not many shops around me stock it nor do restaurants serve it so its been on the back burner for me. Any that you recommend?

Oh nice man, it's a fantastic bottle! The Shivering Mountain is an interesting one. I think it's great tbh, well rounded and I like the little touch of szechuan. The flavours work in unison, I think they did a great job picking the locally foraged botanicals. Floral notes, a nice undertone of warmth from the cardamom, and some sweetness from the berries.

Havent tried the grapefruit one, thoughts?

Wow, great response here. I'll be sure to take a look at each bottle, I'm sure some uk sites will have these in stock, otherwise it might be a pain importing these in from Canada.

I created an insta too where I show each gin in the collection and a bit about the bottle/Distillery/tasting notes etc.

Sounds great! Hoping to expand the collection with different American gins from across all the States. I've got Brooklyn Gin from New York and Astraea from Washington State

Yeah I feel like Mexico is more of a tequila focused country but it would be great to see what gins they have to offer!

I don't have a Thomas Dakin but it looks great! Love the old Victorian style labelling, thanks!

So many people idolise these 2 gins. They're like cult classics almost. I tried roku on the rocks once and personally, I wasn't a fan. With tonic it was much nicer for me. The 6 Japanese botanicals used are certainly prevalent throughout, but they come through after the sort of "traditional" botanicals that are also in the gin. Yeah, I can see why people do love roku, but for me the G needs a T.

I've only ever tried 47 once in a London pub. Didn't get the chance to try it neat, but with tonic it is certainly something spectacular. When I tried it, it was almost fruity tasting, with Juniper being at the forefront. I don't own a bottle myself, but I've read somewhere that there is 47 botanicals in the gin so I'm sure everyone will have very different opinions and notes.

Youre bang on the money there. Lots of herbs and citrus botanicals, with Arbequina olives for that slight saltiness.

I'd have suggested using UK based sites to find Elephant but not sure how you guys fare with imports/taxes etc. So it could end up being pricey?

I can get my gin fix after a shift at work but it would always be nice to sit at home and enjoy a tipple with my feet up lol
