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

What he said. Tanq Ten if I'm feeling like a high end G&T.

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.

Langod · 10-16-2008, 11:36 AM

Tangueray 10 for Martinis
Sometimes Hendricks.

Gordons for Gin and Tonics.

I plan on getting some Plymouth and/or Magellan to try.

10-16-2008, 11:40 AM

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.

Bombay Sapphire - you mean to tell me they make others?

Whee · 10-16-2008, 05:08 PM

Tanqueray is my fave.
Bombay Sapphire makes the best 'tini's.

It's TanQueray...with a "Q". And you guys call yourselves gin lovers...

MajorCaptSilly · 10-18-2008, 09:28 PM

Found Tangueray 10 a few months ago and love it straight up with a cucumber slice or with tonic. This replaced Bombay Sapphire for me.

Bombay Sapphire has gotten me into more trouble than I care to remember - God I miss it!

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.

Boobar · 10-24-2008, 03:24 PM

Tanqueray for me.

MadAl · 11-21-2008, 02:11 PM

Hendricks, Millers, and Sapphire, in that order

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.
