THE INSIDE TRACK

The Guys are fans of Sean’s Plymouth Gin both in and out of cocktails.

"Francis:  Sean, will you tell us how gin is made and why gin is so much more flavorful than it's the other clear spirit vodka?

Sean: Yeah, because gin is a recipe. In all, if you actually look at what gin is, we take very neutral alcohol. That very neutral alcohol, we can actually put it into a bottle and call it vodka. So gin is the original flavored vodka.

Francis: So basically you're saying that vodka is incomplete gin?

Sean: Yes. It's halfway to God's world, basically."
