Format:Paperback
I have just received my copy of this new book. Bloomin' Marvellous!
Having recently taken over at Plymouth, whilst trying to steer myself in the right direction have been absorbed and indoctrinated into everything that is good, bad and ugly regarding Gin. Several books and countless Martinis/Pink Gins later, I am getting there.
Although far from Gin Genius, I do hope to be able to satisfy and bolster my trainings with many a tale and yarn in the future.
All the information I have researched is actually in ONE place, it's called the bartender's Gin Compendium.....I shall take it everywhere.

Gin, the oft maligned spirit get's it's groove back
16 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
In "The Bartender's Gin Compendium" Gaz Regan has taken it upon himself to single handedly restore public sentiment towards gin. Long the favored spirit amongst the world's best bartenders, the general public seems to have a hard time getting past various unfortunate experiences they may have had with this product in their youth. After reading the casual and often lyrical manner in which Gaz recounts the history and lore of gin, it would be hard to imagine that even the most gin averse wouldn't have at least some curiosity about renewing their acquaintance with this fine spirit. Just the chapter on Old Tom gin alone is worth the admission.

A tremendous compellation of past and present history of gin.
10 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
A tremendous compellation of past and present history of gin. This work is inspiring, light hearted, and educational. Gaz has put together an amazingly influential work that every man or woman behind the stick will benifit from. This is a great read from front to back or just to pick up and peek through the pages. Gaz's wit and wisdom once again makes learning the craft enjoyable. From gin's creation (or where we think it may have come from) to the many wonderfull distillers who make it and to those of us who mix with it. Gaz has put it all together here in The Bartenders Gin Compendium. Just Buy it already! And please look at his other works as well!

Good book, but the Kindle Edition doesn't render properly.
11 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
One Star for the Kindle Edition:
- multiple paragraphs are truncated: see the customer image I added to the book's page.
- captions for several photographs are shown but the photographs themselves are missing
- typesetting is totally all over the place, making it very hard to follow: it's even worse than the usual kindle book, which is a very low bar indeed.
I see different misrendering on Kindle for Mac versus my Kindle Keyboard: the real kindle is much worse off in this regard. It looks like there are tables in the book, and these are what don't get rendered properly.
The content I've actually been able to read has been great, so in the end I gave up. I am going to order the paper version instead.
