Nice

Have you tried Gordon's yet? I'm pretty sure I have some at my house for the herf next week. Also you can try Hayman’s Old Tom Gin, I think it's a pretty good gin.

I haven't had Gordon's yet. I would really like to try that on Monday. I am looking to pick up some Hendrick's, but I don't know where they sell it in Michigan.

Pretty sure Costco, Red Wagon, Zetouma liqour store (Rochester road just south of M59, Great Owner) and Meijer all have it.

Definitely a martini or two after work today.

Is it a full moon?

Or two? For me, that would be followed by a nice little nap. I'm becoming such a wuss in my old age.

I sincerely hope that one day we can enjoy a martini and cigar together.

I just got a bottle of New Amsterdam since I ran out of Bombay Sapphire. Thanks Pnoon for the suggestion on this bottle and I will try it out on a few g&t this weekend

I will keep my eyes open for it here on the west coast.

Very unique flavor profile. Not something you would drink a lot of but a nice change of pace. Martini worthy and to my surprise, tasty in a G&T with a squeeze of lime.

meets my criteria!!

I'm not sure if its available nationally yet or not, but some Philly guys starting making/selling gin locally a few years ago. Bluecoat is the name and what made these guys think a Philly made gin could/would be respected and sell is beyond me. But, it was well reviewed locally.

T.G · 10-14-2012, 08:08 PM

Peter, while I'm more of a beer guy than anything else, the Bombay Sapphire is my go-to gin when I order a Martini, but I'm intrigued by this Bombay Sapphire East. Would you mind posing your thoughts on how it differs from the "Regular" Bombay Sapphire?

PS: Trader Joes has a new gin under their umbrella, I just noticed it on the new products shelf about two weeks ago. Called "Jailhouse Gin" IIRC. 43%ABV. Allegedly made in the SF bay area somewhere.

I am not one who can easily pick out and describe flavors. I will say that I find the BS East to be more aromatic and floral.

The description on the bottle says "Vapour Infused with additional Thai Lemongrass and Vietnamese Black Peppercorns"

84 proof. I paid $32.99 for a full liter.

You had me at peppercorns.

Oh, wait...

Seriously, that's great actually, all the description I needed. I'm not worried about trying to pick out miniscule flavors that I'm probably not going to care about after I get halfway through the first drink, if I even notice them at all. The overall bouquet and how pronounced it is, that's all I'm interested in.

Thanks.

It's quite nice.
