Fi and gadzooks, he scoundrel Sir Robin has evaded  my clutches once again! Or that would be what the Sherrif of Chimpingham would have said if he had not managed to get his paws on a quaffing bottle of Sir Robin’s rather excellent gin.  The Merry Men have been gathering botanicals around South Yorkshire and …

Too orange-y for Chimps! Well not really, but if you are as old as the Chimp colony, then you will remember the Kia-Ora catchphrase.  However we are Chimps not Crows, and we quite like the strong hints of orange in this dry gin. One of the better gins we have tasted so far during our …

The first gin to get our tastebuds tingling this summer is Turncoat Cascade Gin, apparently “Made In Liverpool”. …

Eh up – the Chimps do like a Yorkshire Gin every now and then. Apparently you can drink this one in your Jim-jams, so that’s what we are doing. Oh…. No, we misread that – Raisthorpe also do Gin Jams.  Whatever, we are in our jammies now so it’s a few gins followed by a …

  The Chimps are trying to think of things that are better when they are turned pink. Panthers….. Not really gin though. This rinky-dink Gin was a slightly underwhelming, if pretty tipple for shallow Chimps who prefer style over substance. 5/10 – “not unpleasant, I’ve had worse” – EducationChimp
