anacostiakat Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I have never been a big gin drinker. Mostly a summer sensation with gin, tonic and a lime twist. But anyone who has not tried this gin should! It is very smooth with hints of cucumber. Oh and makes a nice gin rickey as well IMHO! That does it I am mixing some up tonight! LOL! I just talked myself into it! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 You know its funky when the packaging tells you that even gin drinkers may not like the unique taste. This stuff is just hideous. I have never, and hopefully never again will, taste a gin such as Hendrick's. Good luck to you. Thats why some of these hobbies of opurs are so enjoyable. There are as many palates as there are drinks/smokes. To each his own poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I love it, and my wife loves it. It's a good gin, you just have to be able to appreciate the cucumber thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n-tron Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I agree ... I like Hendricks with a splash of tonic. No lime for me. Very unique taste that I prefer to stand alone. I did, though, once try to make a not-so-dry martini with Hendricks. Big mistake. Almost had to pay respects to the porcelain god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Excellent Gin. I enjoy Bombay Sapphire first-most; but this is quite fine and no complaints if it's the only thing within reach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey Jim how are you... I have not had the Hendrick's but have been drinking one called Plymoth which is quite good. It has a very bright and crisp taste. I still like Tanqueray the best for J&T's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJtorpedo Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I like Hendricks. It's different - I usually drink it straight up for martinis. Try Magellan gin. It's great - very smooth! When it first came out, it had a blue tinge to it, but now it comes clear. Guess the color was a little offputting - looked like you were drinking Windex! -TJtorpedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt Plymouth the favorite of Roosevelt? I find it doesnt have the bite of some and I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
