[GIN TALK] I actually really like Beefeater for my martinis... not as much as The Botanist, mind. But it's a solid gin. No fuss.

Beefeater is my benchmark London Dry.
Vidiot pro 3 years ago
which is why it was a damn shame when they lowered the proof a year or two ago.

[gin talk] I have this suspicion that anything beyond basic gin like Beefeater and Gordon's is nonsense. As in: it's just industrial alcohol with stuff steeped in it (ie 'botanicals'). No reason to pay premium prices.
crazyunclejoe pro 3 years ago
@KMAlexander That is the most eldritch thing I have every heard. Do you people get different Beefeater where you live?!?

Also, @joost? Bless your heart.
KMAlexander pro 3 years ago
@crazyunclejoe maybe? You aren't a fan?

@joost I can taste a difference between The Botanist and Beefeater, but I wouldn't call The Botanist a "premium" it's cheaper than Hendricks (which I don't like) and only a few bucks more than Beefeater.

Tanqueray for Gin and Tonic for elevenses
Bombay martini for the cocktail hours
Plymouth martini for savory dinners
Bombay marini for deserts

@crazyunclejoe that's you saying I'm a cunt, right?

HENDRICKS OR GTFO AND YES I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, DRUNK AF
crazyunclejoe pro 3 years ago
@joost a cunt? No. Deeply and completely wrong about gin?

Mmmmm could be.
crazyunclejoe pro 3 years ago
@KMAlexander - I’m not. Beefeater’s and Gilbey’s are why I thought I didn’t like rum. I don’t dislike Botanist, but if I want something that is heavily herbaceous, I’d choose Mythology Botanical. I like Empress on its own but it makes (IMO) a perfect G&T with Fever Tree Indian To ic.
KMAlexander pro 3 years ago
@crazyunclejoe Oh man, I don't like Empress at all.

I'm a big fan of Leopold Bros Gin. Colorado has a lot of great gin brands.

Bar Hill dry martini with a twist is an extreme delight

As a relative newcomer to the more subtle joys of gin, how does Broker's stack up?

@crazyunclejoe Excuse me. I shouldn't have written that.

I still remember what it smelled like when I poured my last fifth of Bombay Sapphire down the kitchen sink fourteen years, seven months, and eighteen days ago.
crazyunclejoe pro 3 years ago
@joost - its not you, I’m just a mean drunk.

What's the collective opinion on Tanqueray?
I find I gravitate to these classic british gins.
joost 3 years ago
@artwells I see you veer to classic british gins as well. Any advice on how they compare?
joost 3 years ago
@UhhhClem good for you!
artwells pro 3 years ago
@joost I don't have broad experience, I just know what I like when
