Nigel Farage is probably the man most closely associated with the ‘success’ of Brexit, so I suppose it makes sense that he would release his own brand of gin and describe it as ‘a taste of Brexit’. Only question is why it’s taken the guy so long?

Farage put out this quite weird four minute promo video for the gin yesterday and you can take a look at it below but be warned it is pretty stupid and overlong:

I visited Cornwall for the first time in 1983, it was a fishing trip and I was nineteen. It seems a long time ago now, but my love for what I consider England’s most beautiful county has not changed.

Amazing coastal walks, a rich and mysterious history and the surfing of course, there is no better way to end a fully packed Cornish day than with a glass of gin and tonic as the sun goes down over the western horizon.

Farage gin is produced by an artisan distillery in the heart of Cornwall using pure local spring water, naturally occurring sugar and it is bottled by hand in small batches. Red, White or Blue I hope you enjoy my patriotic take on this quintessentially British drink. Cheers!

Lol. I really wanted to take the piss out of this loads but I can’t really – the guy’s just promoting his new gin and doing it fairly well I suppose – but there are a couple of parts of it that made me laugh and question just what the hell he was doing?

Firstly where the hell is he? It looks a like a cross between a bar and the set of ‘Dragon’s Den’ or something. Really weird place for him to be staging this promo video.

Then I just love the saltiness at the end where he says that his gin might be a bit more expensive than a lot of the gins on the market – you can pick one up on his website for £40,00 – but all the other ones taste like ethanol. Also enjoyed the part where he drank it and said ‘it really is good you know’ or similar that made out as if he had never actually tasted it before. I’m sold.

For more of the same, check out science explaining the real reason that you crave gin and tonic on a Friday night. Can’t ague with science. Or Nigel Farage.
