Weekly Gin Recommendation

Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin - Tea Edition

• Got given this by a friend for helping them put up their children's trampoline.
• So not sure that I would have chosen this.
• Nose - traditional London Dry maybe with a vague sense of citrus
• Flavour profile - Lemon zest followed by citrus heat followed by juniper at the back end
• Lovely with a Mediterranean tonic. Would be great with light standard premium tonic. Think would also work with Elderflower. Delicate flavour.
• Pretty smooth but not sure would work for me personally in a dry Martini. 
• You would have to be careful in cocktails. May work with a heavily lemon based cocktail possibly.
• My recommendation for a lovely refreshing G&T.

• Marketing is not easy. 
• Being consistent is not easy in the context of how you want someone to feel and what you want someone to say behind your back.
• If you are honest with those answers give you an understanding on the brand you want to create and the content you put out there.
• This strategic stuff which shapes the brand is what Kate is all about

How can distilleries can stand out ?

• Moving into and through not just showing a bottle.
• Kate had a client who had coaches. 
• In order to showcase them on social media she said we can’t show coaches. We need to show lifestyle content showing people having a great...
