Thread: Any other Gin lovers?

What are your favorites and why?

(Mine are Hendrick's - very unique crisp, clean flavor from the cucumber, Tanqueray 10 - nice, light citrus notes with a very clean finish, and Citadelle - again, nice light citrus notes and at a VERY reasonable price (a hidden gem IMHO))

I like Bombay Saphire but I must say I am not much of a connosseur and am probably influenced by the beautiful blue bottle. Sounds like I need to try some more types. i've only tried a handle on the list.

i personally drink beefeaters wet.. i absolutely love the flavour.. i grew up in a house were gin was often drank.. as well as nearly every other alcoholic beverage out there..

anyway.. i love a good tom collins.. or a g&t with lemon.

I used to go for beefeaters, but after branching out and trying some others, I can't imagine going back. My current favorite is Quintessential. I like the pretty blue bottle, and I love what's inside.

oh yeah.. the q is good.. i'll order it at a bar if it's there.. but i'm not really the type to buy a bottle for home.. i'll also occasionally order a plymouths.

Bombay Sapphire for me. Only when its too hot for Johnny Black though

I've had one of my worst hangovers ever from Bombay Sapphire, maybe even worse than i got from Russian Cinnamon vodka, so nowadays i'm not so much after gin.

Just started experimenting with Gin so didn't vote. Don't have a fave yet.

Tried Gordon's,Vickers & Bombay Sapphire & didn't much like them. Gilbey's is ok. Must try Beefeater &/or Tanqueray next. Can't justify the price for Hendrick's atm.

Tried a few of the above as my mum used to like a tipple now and again.
Though after meeting a nice Dutch girl some years ago my favourite has to be Bols Zeer Oude Genever (Dutch Gin)



Very nice straight from the fridge and I was told it's lethal when mixed with orange juice.

first choice is the beefeater 2nd choice bombay saphire
and i avoid the tangeray(sp) like the black death
