Curing Salmon in gin is one of the simplest forms of curing, but don't think that makes it any the less delicious! The delicate freshness of the fish is the perfect canvas for the aromatics of so fine a gin as

Gordon & Macphail, the family owned creators of single malt Scotch whisky have released a new range of malts under the "Discovery" labelling, which are designed to introduce new whisky drinkers to a selection that represents the diversity of this wonderful spirit, whilst at the same time aiming to help more seasoned whisky lovers to explore a wider whisky portfolio. 

"It's not often you go on holiday, and come home having bought a pallet of wine. The perils of being a wine importer can be expensive but hey, it's a filthy job, and someone has to apply themselves!" Not your average souvenir agreed, but these sensational
