Travisthedog

Dammit I got no old shite to sell on Evilbay.........

bertie

its one of the gins, I really dont like.   Far too much rose in there........... a bit girly TBH

Get thee some of that Opihr I posted - or at least some Tanq

Travisthedog

Pffft!

I really like it.  Get your veg peeler out and chuck some really thin cucumber strips in there rather than any lemon - hard to beat.

Tanqueray is my favourite of the 'normal' gins and usually reasonably priced for the quality

Bombay is the girly one

Lixarto

I quite like Bombay.

I had a pleasant surprise recently - Tesco's own brand gin is bloody nice

Yep tis a nice one..

like Bertie I don't care for Hendricks too much, Juniper Green Organic is very nice considering its reasonable price tag

Travisthedog

I see in waitrose they do a Heston gin with earl grey and lemon.......

Oh, I should say I do like Bombay too... but its definitely at the more floral end of the spectrum.   

Calling it girly wasn't meant to be negative. Girls are often a bit girly, and I like them too.

Lixarto

No worries - I don't take "girly" as an insult for the same reason

I love Bombay and Hendricks.

Blackwoods is my favourite but hard to get hold of.

Last week we dressed down, walked up the shittier end of Cliftonville high street, and went into Aldi. Bought a bottle of their own gin. It's actually not bad, and certainly a lot cheaper than the branded stuff. It was a brave walk, but we made it back in one piece without being mugged. Might chance my arm again when it's gone, which, at the rate Mrs C shifts the stuff, will probably not be long.
