Re: Your favorite gin
Amen on Hendriks. It's my straight sippin' gin. Generally use Tangueray for mixing.

Re: Your favorite gin
My favorite gin...none of them. Haven't been able to stomach it since college and the only reason I drank it then was because it was so bad none of my buddies would steal my liquor.

Hendrick's
No. 209 Bombay Sapphire I also like Magellan's when I'm in the mood for something different looking. It has a naturally blue color to it which is different. |

Re: Your favorite gin
Tanqueray is my fave.
Bombay Sapphire makes the best 'tini's. It's TanQueray...with a "Q". And you guys call yourselves gin lovers...

Re: Your favorite gin
That's my order, too. It's a crying shame I have to mail order North Shore at nearly twice the store price, once shipping is added in. Hence I save that for very special occasions.
In a desperate attempt to recreate North Shore's fragrant lavender overtones, I bought a bottle of Monin's Lavender syrup--the same kind you usually find coffeehouses using in mochas and Italian sodas--and while it works pretty well with a good vodka martini, the bite of the gin contrasts with the very subtle sweetness of the syrup. It's okay, if used very sparingly, but it can't touch North Shore. It turns out that the Monin lavender syrup works wonderfully in a glass of Topo Chico, over ice, on a warm day. Quite different--it's like drinking flowers.

Re: Your favorite gin
I'm not a huge gin guy, but I did like the Bluecoat gin out of Philly. It's very good straight, with a bit of citrus flavor.
