We got a chance to talk gin with Martin Reid, the patriarch and owner of Reids Distillery, a boutique gin distillery located in Leslieville. Along with his three children, Martin has been producing some of the most creative gin west of the Atlantic under the Reids Distillery banner, inspired by equal parts family and equal parts adventure (his family lived on a sailboat for 2 years!!!). We distill the truth of what makes gin such an expressive spirit, how he and his family got into gin, what its like working with family, and how to outmaneuver pirate attacks on the coast of Venezuela. You can learn more about Reids Distillery by following @reidsdistillery on Instagram.
