Again and again, I return to look at these wondrous photographs! So mesmerizing in their composition and execution. And those portraits! The distillers are each caught in a moment that is timeless. Such a fine piece of work -Bravos all ’round!

The next time I am considering a swift one, I shall repeat to myself: I am doing this to bring my mind into sharp focus. Thank you, Gentle Author, for beautiful images and an excellent new phrase.

The beautiful and evocative descriptions of the subtle differences of the gins distilled at the East London Liquor Company are mouth-watering … and certainly dangerous at 9:30 of a morning. And John’s photographs, so rich and luscious in colour, such a great collection of still lives that tells the story too. The black and white portraits, so very different from the still lives, but equally strong and rich.

Yet another very interesting insight which actually made gin sound like an inviting drink!! And the master photographer at work once again, such beautiful images and the black and white portraits are just brilliant. Well done GA and John.

Excellent post. I didn’t know they were still making Mother’s Ruin in Hackney. My uncle Tom used to make it in his shed in Limehouse. It must have been quite a task to write an excellent bit of prose whilst imbibing London’s finest Gin! Great pictures from Mr Claridge. The colour shots have a beautiful grainy sheen to them and the black and white portraits are superb examples of John’s trademark style. Chin Chin!
