Briand Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Are there any gin drinks here. G and t is my drink of choice during the hot summer months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Gin in summer or winter , love a Tanqueray martini, and G&T is the go to drink on many days, usually Gordon's but leaning towards Bombay Sapphire now for G&T. Party D4 with that and it's heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yep, I like Hendrick's for G&T, Sapphire or Plymouth for Martinis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briand Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Do you use any of the higher end tonics like toms or fever tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Schweppes tonic every time for me, rather invest in higher end Gin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 YES! Gin and Topo Chico, with a squeeze of lime and sometimes a slice of cucumber or garlic or blue cheese or jalapeno stuffed olive. HANDS DOWN, The Botanist Gin is as good as it gets, second place isn't even close! http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-botanist-islay-dry-gin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the sinaloa cartel and some kind of sickness/drought in mexico. Limes are over a dollar each here in the states. Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Wow! Didn't know Brewackladdeek was making Gin too.....have to try. It's amazing!!! It runs about $30.00 USD in my neck of the woods. Nothing even comes close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's amazing!!! It runs about $30.00 USD in my neck of the woods. Nothing even comes close! Hate to disagree, but the German Monkey 47 Gin is miles ahead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 hmmmmmmm... i've personally never tried Gin and Tonic. always been straight for me. either that or half and half medium martini. YES! Gin and Topo Chico, with a squeeze of lime and sometimes a slice of cucumber or garlic or blue cheese or jalapeno stuffed olive. HANDS DOWN, The Botanist Gin is as good as it gets, second place isn't even close! http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-botanist-islay-dry-gin two bottles of this underneath my work desk. best thing to drink whilst writing anything. Love it. however, there is Plymouth Gin which is almost equally as good. Also, my homemade Gin. when i perfect the recipe, i'll defo send it over your way as you seem to have the same taste as me! Juniper flavour overpowered. mild rose pedals, sage, with touches of coriander and mint. that's what i'm aiming for, but i just need to get the method right........

Ken Gargett Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 lot of very good gins around. always liked hendricks but for aussies, get on to '4 pillars'. small production craft gin. sensational (mate and i knocked off a bottle the other day which was not showing it the usual respect but it is a cracker). at dan's or www.fourpillarsgin.com.au. made by mates of mine but i assure you my feelings not clouded. every gin lover i've shown it to, has loved it and immediately stocked up. almost all have had to re-order. only been on the market for a few months but they entered it into the massive san fran world spirits comp along with thousands of other spirits. the very best entries win double gold. 4 pillars won double gold on its first attempt. do not miss it.

tmac77 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Been a gin drinker for quite some time and a couple of my favorites are Barr Hill Gin from vermont and Ransom Gin out of Oregon. Not always easy to find but well worth the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfall Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hate to disagree, but the German Monkey 47 Gin is miles ahead! I've had it, not a fan. To me , not as pure as The Botanist. Yes fancy with a lot of herbs and spices, but that's not my cup of tea when it comes to Gin, in fact, it's more like tea than Gin in my opinion. I don't want't a bottle of booze that taste like thanksgiving dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westg Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Don't think to many of you would of heard of this The Grove Gin, distilled and bottled in Margaret River a wine region not to far from me ..only comes in a 500ml bottle and a little pricey at that... very dry, but very good gin.

Zaphod42 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Old Raj is my gin of choice, not easy to find around here but certainly worth looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersonmorelli Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Love gin. Citadelle for G&T, Hendricks for Martinis and Caorunn (and Antica Formula) for Negroni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newkarian Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Love hendricks for GT or Martini, Plymouth is good. Going to try and hunt down The Botanist sound awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomdude Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am all about the Bombay Sapphire, Tangeray, and will have no choice but to try The Botanist after seeing this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I tried to give Bluecoat a try once and was really disappointed. It tasted like it was filtered through a sock full of old cucumbers. I'm not sure what those tchotchkes are around its neck, but they are undeserving. If I drank Tanq. It was usually Tanq. 10. Botanist is my only go to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
