After a moment of reflection, I replied that it reminded me of a sun-filled baseball game in 1977, when Rod Carew was batting .400 and the man behind me was belching salted peanuts hand Hamm's beer.

    James May- love your gin! Got the Asian parsnip and the American “ramstud”. Thought both were super interesting flavors and wonderful, high quality gins. I can tell a lot of care and thought went into the flavor and making of these spirits. I’ve been sipping these, and made martinis and gin and tonics and can say the unique flavors really added a lot to the experience of these beverages. I shall definitely be ordering more in the future! Look forward to your future endeavors! Cheers from the United States!

    I knew that you'd pick blue the moment you said that it had a definitive "Asian" quality. Like you said, it's a very broad term but from a marketing standpoint, if an average joe is picking up Asian Parsnip Gin and doesn't get a distinctive Asian based flavor, it'll probably be a bit of a miss. Definitely feels like that one ticked exactly what you were thinking of right away.

    Add Australia to the wish list of shipping, even though I live in the cradle of award-winning gin (South Australia).

    I tried to find out what shipping to Australia would cost, however they don't ship to Australia.

    Blue is the right choice because it's closest to the original idea

    Assuming you were talking about the picture with Stalin and a different politician next to a canal (at 7:47), that would be Nikolai Yezhov who disappeared, not Trotsky.

    I'm _not_ a fan of gin. But if James says they're not like the gin you'd expect, I think I might try one.
