Gin drinkers only what is your fav.

I picked up some North Shore online... Tried some Hendrick's at a friend's house... Old favorite was Sapphire. Gotta go with the North Shore; very smooth; a lot of interesting flavors going on. Two thumbs up. :tu :tu
 
A gin thread I missed!?!?

I probably drink Hendrick's most often, with tonic or in gin-gin mules. I keep trulime packets on hand for both.
Bulldog gin is very similar to Hendrick's, and I would buy instead if cheaper.
I also really like Distillery No. 209 gin, but use it in martinis.

Based upon Julian's :al recommendation I will be giving North Shore a try.. :r
 
Favorite has to Bombay Saphire this is my Martini Gin 4oz Gin 1oz Dry Vermouth 3 olives.

Favorite cheap gin Fleishmans use this generally for gin and tonics with a slice of lime. I also will occasionally drink Schlichte gin in a gin and tonic. A buddy of mine loves bloody marys made with gin instead of vodka.
 
I'm having some freezer cold Bombay Saphire with a Taboo SFO Lancero now and enjoying the heck out of both thanks to this thread.
 
on vacation, no North Shore to be found here, so I've gone through a liter of Hendrick's this week...

:r Know what you mean. The martini-a-night habit is as expensive a lifestyle choice as cigars! If only North Shore came in 1.75l bottles.:hn

Tanqueray Rangpur or just normal Tanq with tonic and lime also. :tu

I bought some Rangpur recently.
It's fine for gin & tonic, but even then I see no reason to prefer it over a regular gin (maybe so you don't have to keep any limes on hand? I don't know...)

Yeah, I actually stopped drinking Rangpur. The lime was too over powering for me. I've since switched to Sapphire and Hendricks. I still keep Tanq around, but not Rangpur.

Now you're gettin' it. :tu

Hendricks is the shiznit.
Sapphire for everyday.
Tanqueray is decent.

I never did care for the Rangpur. Marketing - plain and simple. It's like these lime flavored beers coming out now. What's with that :BS?
 
Bombay used to be my fave but a few months back I tried some ice cold Amsterdam Gin and can't go back to Bombay.

Speaking of Bombay, I find it funny that Bombay is 45% alcohol by volume and in Canada it's 40%, at least that was what I got when I bought it at Las Vegas's Duty Free.

The worst gin I'd say is Beefeater. Gordon's comes real close.

I enjoy it served in a rock glass, 2 oz's, and 7-up with a wedge of lime squeezed then dropped into the glass.

OMG North Shore is amazing!

I had a going away party a week ago today and the barkeep insisted I try the North Shore. It was SO good. First thing I did when I got up to Chicago on moving day was buy 750 mL ofit! :chk
