im currently halfway through my first bottle of oliver cromwell. its the aldi home brand small batch gin. its the cheapest premium gin on the market but i bought it because it won gold at the international wine & spirit award. its quite citrusy reminiscent of martin miller gin but half the price. i have been enjoying it in a negroni.

Kev you will have to get fever tree tonic from the supermarket though, best in the world. it will elevate anything, it doesnt matter what gin you get!.

Thanks for the advice.
I've never heard of fever tree but I'll keep a look out for it

On the Tanqueray tonight. Going do very easily!

I generally drink Tanqueray, but as a splurge, Hendricks is terrific, and for less than Hendricks I like Boodles, which is so smooth you're sure to drink too much too fast....but it is good.

I was intending on getting a bottle of Hendricks (it is Christmas after all) but they didn't have any so I bought the Tanqueray.
I'm for Scotland on Boxing Day so some Hendricks will be got there

Tonight is France's finest, Citadelle.

didnt know whether to put this in the christmas thread or here but i decided it would get more appreciation here. here's what i unwrapped christmas morning

from left to right, spirit of london small batch gin off the mother, boodles and plymouth of my grandfather, also got me two bottles of wine, and a bottle of william chase extra dry gin which is made from distilled apple cider off my mothers gentleman friend. the little bottle is orange bitters.

cheers

Spoilt rotten!

trying to decide whether to open them all at once to appreciate their different flavours side by side or drink them one by one.

Kev did you get fever tree? it really is sublime!

Couldn't find it in any of my local shops, used schweppes over Christmas. I'm over in Scotland at the minute so gonna try over here. I'll probably pick up a bottle of Hendricks too
