The murky, yellowish-brown bottle on my counter labeled “No. 1” has not discouraged me. Bathtub Gin No. 2 is currently in production. And by “production,” I mean I have 750ml of neutral grain spirits steeping as we speak. No. 2 started with a better quality base spirit and an improved steeping method. It should be ready in about five (5) days.
Additionally, I’ve begun another project which should come out a winner: Pumpkin Spice Infused Bourbon. I’m looking forward to tasting this, as it is quite fitting for the season. Not to mention that, given it is an infusion, it will be hard to screw up. Unlike my misguided Bathtub Gin experiments.

It turned out much better than Bathtub Gin No. 1. It’s amazing what a better base spirit will do for the taste. The post and pics will be up shortly. Stay tuned.
