    Gin - my anathema

    Have you tried Hendrick's, the Scottish gin?

    Tanqueray #10 Gin — Thoughts?

    You should read a great gin article in the Wall Street Journal from last Saturday. Bottom line, the reviewer preferred t-10 in his gin and tonic claiming it added a citrus scent to it. But preferred Hendricks and Plymouth for the...

    Tonic Water - for Gin

    Not sure this is the right board for this... but given that it is a mixer, this seems to be the closest match. Recently read an article (I think it was NYT)about “boutique” tonics. While I’ve spent lots of time...

    Really great gin?

    Hendrick's is very good stuff, but not very traditional. If he’s a purist, I recommend Cadenhead’s Old Raj, also made in Scotland. It’s one of the strongest and most intensely flavored gins out there. The thing...

    Good inexpensive gin

    My favorite gin in that price range is Bombay Dry Gin (the white label, not the Sapphire). A great mix of botanicals that stand out and isn’t as juniper forward as Beefeater nor juniper meek like Hendrick's.

    Gin: my new hobby

    's pretty good. Plymouth and Q gin to me are more like Vodka then gin. I think that if really enjoy gin that you just might slowly start to like the stronger ones after awhile. ;) Another interesting gin to at least try is...

    Best Gin Martinis?

    to think of gin being cloying but Sapphire compared to Boodles, Plymouth or Hendricks, is like drinking milk. If you don’t have vermouth, you don’t have a martini. Nothing wrong with ice cold gin but it ain’t a...

    Old Raj Gin in Palm Springs

    FAILURE. No Old Raj at either. No Boodles. Just Hendricks or Sapphire. Lots of very expensive looking women though.

    Seeking: best gin martinis in Manhattan

    I don’t think I’ve seen gin cold or frozen anywhere, but Temple Bar on Bleecker makes a very fine martini, as does the bar at the Essex House, and Little Giant on the LES (not a place for drinks only, though)....

    Is Gin the Best Replacement for Vodka in Cocktails?

    I don’t like vodka, but there are a few vodka tail recipes that sound good to me otherwise, and I’d like to try them using a different liquor. In general, do you think a gentler-tasting gin like Hendrick's (rather...

    Gin: Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray and Beefeater?

    in the nose. Personally, I like Plymouth as my favorite all-around gin, but also like Hendricks(strong component of cucumber in the nose) Magellan(french gin with different multi-botanical flavors, and Junipero, american, made by...

    What's up with the price of Plymouth gin?

    Plymouth smelled the money being made in the super-premium gin category by Hendrick's and Tanq Ten and their ilk, redesigned its packaging, and repriced itself upwards to appeal to free-spending dolts who equate price with value,...

    Blackwood's Dry Gin, from the Sheltand Islands

    While on vacation in the northern Highlands, I have come across Blackwood’s Dry Gin, which is distilled in the Shetland Islands. I was wondering how it compares to Hendrick's, the other gin distilled in Scotland. Has anyone...

    Should I really give gin another try?

    . But before you give up altogether, let’s have one last try. Forget Hendricks - all brand, fancy old bottles and a strange insistence on using cucumber garnish. And don’t even think about Bombay Sapphire. No, track...
