often head to Delaware or NJ for brands not available in our great Keystone state. We’ve come a long way, baby- remember when all the bottles were kept behind the counter and you had to ask the salesperson for the item? :)... (8 replies, last updated by porker November 27, 2008)

I’m a jackanapes – of course it’s the NW corner. No more lunch gin for me! (Though I will put in a thumbs up to the fine distillers of Bluecoat Gin in Philadelphia.) (26 replies, last updated by EJC December 5, 2006)

I know that I’m a little late here but I just thought I would add to the thread. I personally like Tanqueray, I don’t mind the heavy juniper taste. But you might want to try a couple of others that are a little... (15 replies, last updated by porker January 18, 2009)

at Beefeaters, Tanqueray, Bluecoat and or Citadelle. I like a very London Dry taste, I don’t like Plymouth that much and am looking for a good Juniper taste. I’ve tried all of these, I just can’t make up my... (10 replies, last updated by ted August 5, 2008)

For what it’s worth, my favorite Gin’s right now are Plymouth, Junipero (Anchor Brewing), and Bluecoat. Plymouth is the softest of the three and Junipero is quite the heavy hitter. I would also recommend more than a... (11 replies, last updated by jspear April 22, 2008)
