Most people know that I took an indefinite hiatus from blogging to focus on videos and my overall well-being during this pandemic. I also wasn’t particularly happy with how the industry has been treated – what with the largely unnecessary liquor bans that kept being imposed (meanwhile, we’ve got the largest number of cases in ASEAN… So really, who did we honestly try to fool?).

That led to me becoming too demotivated to write… and I wasn’t looking to pick up the proverbial pen (or keyboard) for a while…

…until one of my favourite people got ahold of me and asked me to write about something I could easily get excited over (and effectively get me out of my funk): A proper gin tasting event put together by Kévin Charuel of The Tasting Club, in partnership with CCI France Philippines.
