Is there a compendium of gin posts?

[Phog Allen]

Good evening gents. Can someone point toward a list of gin reviews if there is one? I know there are a lot of gin threads but it seems like at one time we a sticky of spirit of the month threads. There may be something there. With spring quickly turning into an early summer it is apropro. Must have the gin proritised you know.

Cheers, Todd

Thank you. I will check it out. Beefeater is sort of the old reliable and steadfast brand. Hard to go wrong there.

Cheers, Todd

A friend and I were debating about the best Gin about 20 years ago. It was settled when we went to a bar that specialized in gin drinks.

We sat down and did single shots of straight gin for about three hours and guess what (yea we got plastered but I found out something else too)....

The gin that had the best taste out of EVERY brand we drank was..... Tanqueray... NO KIDDING... It blew my mind as I had been drinking gin costing much more than that brand.

Needless to say I switched brands and never looked back

Tanqueray is my gin of choice but since I primarily make gin and tonics, I've stepped down to Gordon's. I don't make gin cocktails like I used to so I don't need premium gin anymore.

Honestly I prefer Gordon's (made by the same distillery as Tanqueray) over Tanqueray, not as sweet.
YMMV,

Hendrick's is really smooth, but I actually miss the juniper taste that you get in say, Beefeater.

If you like gin I'd recommend trying Old Tom gin and genever.

I love how there was really only one comment to address the OP while the rest of the comments were about gin itself!

I bought a bottle of Greenall's recently that is mediocre, mild on the taste and that bland palate makes me add a lot to my G&T, which of course gets me tipsy a lot faster. I'll be going back to Gordon's after this. I didn't know Gordon's was made by the same distillery as Tanqueray. The reason I bought Greenall's is because it's the same distillery that makes Bombay!

I'm a fan of Hendrick's, but my favorite is Bombay Blue. Admittedly lately though since I'm an avid gin and tonic consumer I have been using New Amsterdam. Best gin find ever!!! Was short on $$ and said what the heck, rolled the dice and it is fantastic!

Oh boy, I have been a Gin fiend for the better part of 2 decades. Martini, G&T, Gimlet, Salty Dog, Suffering Bastard -- you name it, I drank it. My fans:
Plymouth
Bombay (Regular, Sapphire)
Tanqueray (Regular, Rangpur, and Ten)
Boodles

Cheers!
