I just have to agree.
Unless you are 100% sure and making in huge quantities, probably more than most folk can consume.

If an Airstill doesn't keep you and yours in Gin.....

That's the beauty of the Airstill I find. It enables you to experiment without losing all your neutral if things go awry.

You don't need much Cumin or Angelica. I use a gram per litre in the Air Still/Sputnik. Gin has to have the predominance of Juniper, 40% of the total botanicals in my case. Get the balance right and it makes a cracking spirit.

First taste - its lost it juniper nose. That said the stilling was a Disaster anyway. I normally like to make a proper tasting after five days. Also at the Angelica in this one. Let's see

Proceed with extreme caution! I tried cumin in gin a while back, and wound up with a drink that tasted like liquid curry. Not a problem, some might say, but honestly, it was vile. Took ages to get rid of the aroma from the still, as well.

Yes, I use wild cumin seeds. I grind em a bit, the flavour does come through very gently on the nose and mouth. Comments from my testing has been very positive. Most say that it has that gentle warm curry hit as it passes

I like it, but it's all to taste.
