Favorite Gin?

[JM]

Having a gin and tonic now garnished with English cucumbers.

Love-Bluecoat, Bombay Sapphire (and the East variant), Hendricks
Like-Bombay, Beefeater, Brokers, Gale Force (locally made with a Beefeater profile)
Loathe-New Amsterdam (good price, but it's a flavored vodka, not an infused gin)
Lust After-Leopold's Small Batch Gin (never tried it, but I want to)
Don't understand-Nolette's This gin has pretty sorry reviews from gin lovers, but costs more than Hendricks (which already requires justification)

Plymouth is not worth the money, but tastes nice (Beefeater, Gale Force, and Bluecoat are similar tastes/better values, so I can't justify the purchase)

Haven't tried Tangueray in years (but I will), need to try Boodles, Gordons and Gilbey (just to be thorough)

I picked up some Broker's the other day and like it very much...Plymouth was only a $1 more.

Bombay Sapphire is my favorite but the one I find myself reaching for quite often is New Amsterdam. Great taste and an even greater price.

+1 on New Amsterdam - normally a Tanqueray or T10 buyer, but gave this a try recently and have been quite happy in G&T.

Bombay Sapphire is my pref for a 'Tini.

Man! I can get 750 ml of Brokers for $20, but Plymouth costs $30 for the same size.

Brokers was 25 and Plymouth was 26. I pay more overall I guess...government tax the hell out of it.

Plymouth wins in this scenario.

I bought Broker's based on the winning reviews but I'm almost done the bottle I picked up Friday so Plymouth next weekend I guess.

Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire, New Amsterdam is pretty good also.

I wonder...does gin cost as much as whiskey to produce? Gin is on the level in terms of price per bottle with blended scotch and Canadian rye where I'm from.

have simialr tastes, I as well was underwhelmed with Nollete's gin, was too floral, and didnt make it in any Gin cocktail I made it with, I polished it off quick just to get it out of my cabinet, and quickly bought another Bluecoat....

need as well to find me a bottle of Leopolds!

never heard it refered to that way, but now the New Amsterdam I tried (oly once) makes total sense!

+1 for Bombay Sapphire! A dry martini made with it has a refreshing sharpness I find lacking in others.
