Amazing Quality Gin

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 ...

Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin

Mother's ruin in the west country

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

...been drinking Fruit Cup by Plymouth gin distilleries, for a few years now BUT they are not going to continue with this as sales have dropped. I AM MORTIFIED!! It tastes so much better than Pimms, but being a smaller distillery, can't fight the big boys!! Also, in the interested of keeping this distillery afloat during the credit crunch, please try their gin as it is well worth it!! Original review: A few month's back, a friend from Devon suggested ...
...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 he celebrated ...

Review of Plymouth Gin

A Most Unusual Gin...

Advantages: Excellent, floral, refreshing.
Disadvantages: A little expensive.

Hendricks Gin **************** Hendricks gin is distilled in a shed in Ayrshire not that far south of Glasgow. It’s distilled in one of four remaining working Carter-Head stills where the distillate vapours are passed through a tray of botanicals rather than left to steep in its liquid form. Towards the end of the distillation the spirit is put through a cucumber mash (Pulped cucumbers mixed with ice cold water) where the gin picks up its characteristic ...
...gin. --Gin History-- Gin originated (properly – it is believed that Juniper based spirits go back the the12th century but were used for medicinal purposes) in Holland in the 17th century and was discovered by the English when fighting alongside the Dutch in war. The Dutch used to do shots before going into battle and this is where the term “Dutch courage” originates from. Gin was brought back to England and due to heavy import taxes and high beer ...

Review of Hendrick's Gin

Drink Gin, Order Chinese and Play Guess Who.

Advantages: Smooth taste, easy to drink, great to create new concoctions
Disadvantages: If you don't like gin, I'd give it a miss.

...evenings, I must say, and Tanqueray is my gin of choice. That's if payday has arrived, otherwise I'll stick to Ribena thanks. Tanqueray is a very well known brand due to the quality of its product and the lengthy process required to produce it. It's smooth and refreshing taste has made it an international and award-winning gin. History & Design The recipe hasn't changed since its creation in 1830, by Charles Tanqueray. He then set up a distillery ...
...The method that Charles Tanqueray used to produce the tipple was unique in the sense that it had a fourth distillation, which meant that the end result was a purer and better quality of gin. The iconic green bottle that holds Tanqueray is short and easily stored in a kitchen cupboard or on the worktops. It was originally designed to look like a three part cocktail shaker, so is somewhat ergonomic by nature. The red seal, stamped with a 't' on the ...

Review of Tanqueray Gin

Slow and steady...Gordons Sloe GIN...

Advantages: Taste's sweet, refreshing, very moreish.
Disadvantages: very moreish...lol

Gin is Gin right ? WRONG !! Recently I was introduced by a friend to Gordon's sloe gin, something I have never come across though brings to mind the Flavoured Absolut vodkas which are also really nice. It's the same kind of thing but Gin. I gave it a try (nope it didn't take much persuasion I like my spirits) and well - it's a really GREAT drink. The bottle is same as your regular screw top Gordon's Gin bottle but clear not green, the gin itself ...
...spirit, not cloudy.. There is a faint pleasant smell of fruitiness along with the normal 'gin' smell, yes I always smell drinks before drinking…..still gin taste but there's also the definite fruity flavour of berries, it's sweet with a nice aftertaste…a bit moreish All this yummy tastiness is down to the sloe berries. We prefer it simple - with a quality lemonade straight from the fridge, it looks a vimto kind of colour, still very deep-purple-red ...
