Would you know it, Richard Hammond hasn't tasted James May's new gin. So what better place to give it a try than at Hammond's home bar, making a gin and tonic for them both. It turns out, Richard has a genuine technique down when it comes to making his favourite drink.
Check out James May's Gin:

I'm one of those peasants who drink cider, beer and simple liquor so I don't really understand the thing about really expensive and fine whiskey or wine, for example. Jägermeister, Fireball, Baileys and other simple stuff. Snaps (Mostly 'Akvavit') is tradition during Midsummer, crayfish parties, Easter, New Year and Christmas. It's usually "swept" in a single gulp from a full shot glass, proceeded by a large swig of beer and a short song. A small swig of Akvavit is enough to floor a hardened Eastern European and really make him question his life choices.

@@tntfreddan3138 Honestly, whisky does not need to be expensive. You can get a pretty decent whiskey for 20-40 euros/dollars/pounds and if you consider that with regular serving that is 20 drinks, so between 1 and 2 dollar per glass, that is getting close to a bottle of beer, and is significantly cheaper than quality beers which can nowadays easily cost you 4, 5, 6 euros/dollars/pounds. More expensive bottles are about 60-120, anything over that and you aren't paying for quality but for the brand, age, rarity, hype.

Ok, it may say that on the bottle, but that is for sure just a Scandinavian tequila. ^ I then proceeded to just take multiple shots of the stuff, destroying tradition.

To be honest, I see myself watching lots of KZfaq with slightly older gentlemen, who are doing everyday stuff and talking about nothing. My theory is that we just need to socially interact with older brothers, dads, or uncles. James is only 16 years my senior, so he is neither my dad's or my brother's age, but he can be my uncle, and he talks about things my dad never talks about that I find interesting. The point is, we all need the mentorship of older and wiser people even if they talk bollocks.

Common hiccups are usually caused by trapped air causing contractions of the diaphragm. Holding your breath works for some people but it depends how they do it. What you actually need to do is breathe in, tense your diaphragm, and then slowly breathe out while keeping your diaphragm tense, releasing the trapped air while also resetting any diaphragm spasms. That's what Hammond seems to be doing.

It's fashionable now because the Gin Act of 1751, which prohibited small Gin Distilleries in London, was repealed in 2008.

James and Richard, you don’t know me but you both been present during my life, during when I had my first gin & tonic, also when I had my first drum of whiskey! Not mention other youngsters experience! I admire your approach to life and really appreciate impact you guys made on my life! And this video in addition to all of the moto content you guys share. I really don’t know how to thank for all of this. Simple hello would make my day, probably a year :)

Richard is spot-on about the river Test being a chalk stream. They're fed by aquifers so they don't have much seasonal change to them and they're remarkably clear. Fun fact, of the 210 worldwide rivers classified as chalk streams, 160 are located in England.

Please do more of this, I was starting to feel like I was actually there with you. And regarding what Mr Hammond could do I believe that you've already done it, you mastered the art of surviving serious car accidents, admittedly it's a difficult thing to share with others but nevertheless it's a remarkable achievement that must be acknowledged.

Fun fact: Loads of new Gin brands popped up in Ireland over the last several years. Most of these are new distillers awaiting licenses to make whiskey (an excellent investment). Gin is very easy to produce. The sheer choice and marketing of this modern gin had a big effect on how trendy it is. Having said that gin is a superb beverage.

makes sense, same behavior in the U.S. Get out a few quick products while the real barrel aged products take their time. Though the real gimmick in the US is blending other people's stuff then slapping your label on it.

It's every time a pleasure to see you guys. It's fun and entertainment on a higher level. Well, you're British, and the British sense of humor is special. What I know about it, it's so many, but could say: never cheap, solid and often with little dose ironic. I hope could taste the gin on a gin tasting, before I buy it. I think nothing is more bad than buying something, specially drinks, and than you realise, it was a bad idea. The price you call is, I think, realistic. Not too much, and it shows you "Your not buying a Gin like many others". Sunny greetings from Bremerhaven, Germany

Splendid post chaps, the botanical Richard is on about in River Test Gin is Meadowsweet, they do also use Angelica as well, but Meadowsweet grows in boggy damp ground neat clear rivers. I have had bottles of both Asian Parsnip and the Navy Strength and they are great gins.
