Amazing Quality Gin
Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin by Friendly_Bartender

Advantages: Everything, From Taste, To Aroma, & A Cool Looking Bottle
Disadvantages: Bars/Pubs overcharge for this gin when it doesn't cost that much more.

I've always liked gin, first drinking Gordon's, but then one day picked up the bottle, mostly because it had a cool looking bottle. Once I opened the bottle and smelled the aroma, I knew it was gold. It is one of the best gin's on the market. New Amsterdam Gin and Tanquery Gin is also a very good brand. The best way I enjoy it is many ways. One is in a rock glass with no ice and 7up or Sprite. Squeeze a lime wedge and drop it into the glass. ...
...website. It has a very good video on how to make a proper dry martini. One last suggestion is gin and 7up tropical splash. I don't even know if they make it anymore but myself and a firend of mine swear by thie mix. Amazingly well matched. Wish they still made it in Canada. Don't be fooled that it it's only a cool looking bottle, it actually is quality stuff. I don't get why people think it's expensive. It's not, at least not in Canada. Only costs ... Read review

Mother's ruin in the west country
Review of Plymouth Gin by orlando

Advantages: Makes a wonderfully, long, refreshing summer drink
Disadvantages: Beware of the alcohol content

...Pimm's and to buy some Plymouth Gin instead. I looked at it in the supermarket (not having ever noticed it before) and held back from purchasing as I knew I liked Pimms, but had never tried Plymouth so couldn't be sure if it would be worth the switch. I recently had to extract my son from University in Plymouth due to some events which rendered him a tad incapacitated. While aimlessly wandering the streets of Plymouth and the Barbican area (while ...
...Plymouth Gin 'Black Friars' distillery. Well, naturally with the interests of the Ciao community in mind (and being a touch of an alkie), I was drawn through the large open entrance and into the heart of the large building, steeped in history. The Black Friars Distillery is the Monk's refectory room, and is possibly the oldest building in Plymouth, dating back to the 1400's. This building has a chequered history, as it was once the debtor's prison, ... Read review

A name to trust
Review of Tanqueray Gin by optimaboy

Advantages: Crisp, distinct taste
Disadvantages: Pricey

...creme de la creme of Tanqueray Ten, a gin that contains only hand picked botanicals. In the mid-range there are 4 or 5 that stand out and Tanqueray Special Dry is definitely one of these. Gin is a grain spirit flavoured with herbs and botanical extract, the most prominant being juniper. It is pungent on the nose and crisp and dry to the taste and is perfect as an aperitif when mixed with tonic. Though somewhat of an acquired taste, it can be drunk ...
...the Russian spirit. Tanqueray Special Dry Gin's main competitors in the UK are Bombay Sapphire, Gordon's and Plymouth Gin. Bombay is a good quality gin, but is quite over-rated and like many other spirits benefits from good marketing which make it seem of higher quality than it is. Though it has a funky blue bottle, that draws attention, Bombay distillation process and recipe are not of the same quality as that of Tanqeray and Plymouth and as a result ... Read review

So there is Gin after death....
Review of Gordon's Dry Gin by Kingseany

Advantages: Tasty, relaxing
Disadvantages: Strong, reassuringly expensive

...eve, I was mostly drinking.....GIN!! Gordon's Special London Dry Gin to be more precise. Still, no need for special occasions, this can be drunk at any time (within reason). I'm currently looking at a 1 litre bottle, alas with just a trickle remaining, perhaps enough for one or too...hic. But, hurrah, my very kind lady bought not one, but two bottles last time she went on a booze cruise, so no need to cry. Firstly my bottle(s) look different than ...
...is probably because they have one label for those sold within the UK, and one for those sold elsewhere, either that or they have actually changed it. The royal crest is still there, assuring me that the queen herself loves a good G and T, as does the rest of the royals perhaps. It's also still stating by appointment to the queen mother, so there is an after life, after all. Very re-assuring. It's got the UK and London all over the bottle - in fact ... Read review

3000 miles for a bottle of gin...
Review of Martin Millers Gin by hukerjohn

Advantages: Excellent, fruity, long and moreish.
Disadvantages: Not widely available.

--Martin Millers Gin-- The Martin Millers gin distillery is located in the heart of England's Black Country. The spirit is batch distilled (many gins are distilled continuously) in a 100 year old copper still that was made by John Dore and Co. The distillate is then shipped to Iceland on a 3000 mile round trip to be blended with glacial water as it is much purer and softer than most bottled waters we see on our shelves today. This water cuts the ...
...the Westbourne strength). Martin Millers have just the two products that I am aware of. They have the standard 40% gin and the 45.2% Westbourne strength gin. I'm pretty sure (although I could be wrong - and please correct me if I am) that 45.2% is some what of a magic number… I believe it relates back to the days of fighting at sea with cannons and the like because if gin, or rum, was spilt on gunpowder, providing the gin was 45.2% or stronger in ...
