New Gin from England - now with an earthworm in the bottle
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/31/english-earthworm-gin_n_1724883.html?utm_hp_ref=food The worm in mezcal has been said to enhance the flavor, be an aphrodisiac and also get you very, very drunk should you be the one to eat it. We're guessing this gin's earthworm, which is probably three times the size of your average cactus worm in a bottle of mezcal, is a cheeky nod to this same mythology.

2. I like a good Gin, but I'll be damned if I am going to consume anything with a bug in it.

11. Gin drinkers must be easily-impressed

In Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia, it's not uncommmon to see bottles of rice wine to which snakes have been added. If you are the guest of honor, one of these bottles likely will be brought out after dinner and you will be offered the first glass. To refuse would be impolite.
The taste isn't bad. It has that...je ne sais quoi.
