Bombay Sapphire without a doubt.

No gin I have tried has as much flavor as Citadel Gin. All other gins are just poser gins. Hendricks is good but I like a salty nos and a slice of cucumber just does not cut it.

I am only allowed one a day and my go to through 38 years of taste testing is Citadel.

Am I allowed to say in here that I don't enjoy gin and therefore don't have a favorite? :P

My favorite gin is Bafferts Gin

replicant_argent · 02-11-2009, 08:41 PM

Dr. Bombay for me. Sapphire preferably, or the reg. I do enjoy an experiment occasionally, and Hendricks has been taunting me.
Tanq will do in a pinch, and with tonic and a half a Key lime. I don't like "pre-limed" anything.

s15driftking · 02-11-2009, 08:41 PM

Beefeater is a very good budget gin.

I have had Q, it's pretty good but rather exensive.

HawkEye19 · 02-11-2009, 08:49 PM

Citadel is very, very good gin. Only used for martinis though. G&Ts are made with New Amsterdam or Gordons gin.

Bombay Sapphire is the staple for me. Tangueray Ten is a tad smother, but lacks the flavor of Sapphire.

I do like regular Bombay and Beefeater for budget gin. I've yet to try Hendrick's, but I've heard good things about it.

I have to have tonic. I can take or leave the lime, either is fine.

On a side note I've found that Bolivar Royal Coronas slight citrus notes are complemented by a good gin and tonic like Sapphire. For this combo, I would recommend leaving the slice of lime out. It can be a little overpowering and even cause the lime juice to get on the wrapper after you squeeze it. I've made that mistake.

tasted like caca by itself, but hey, they put the warning on the label, it's not for everyone

but since I have the bottle about 7/8 full, I'll keep working on acquiring the taste

s15driftking · 02-12-2009, 07:11 AM

i acquired the taste for gin by "just drinking it" because it's all i could steal (that i could palette at the time) from my dad's cabinet when i was 16. Gordons London Dry Gin to be exact.... i know if i took his Bombay he would have had my colyouns.

02-19-2009, 08:43 PM

I hate gin, but if I have to have gin in my long island's, I insist that the bartender use tangueray.

thebiglebowski · 02-27-2009, 01:37 PM

i'm traditionally a Tanqueray guy for my gin 'n tonics, but lately have been on a let's try and find good low-priced stuff (per Esquire's recommendations) and have found that Gordon's is really pleasant. i like it very much with the tonics.

i still remain a boodle's fan for my martinis.
