The gin lovers thread...

Ampleforth's is the one, I may need to revisit I guess. I love the Rumbullion they do, but that's for another thread

Just noticed this thread & love Gin so does the OH although she only recently got into it when we were in a Gin bar in Maderia and barman gave us a bit of a master class in Gin.
Plymouth Gin is our latest one and its nice do not think it would disappoint most peeps.
we also really liked sipsmiths which was a bit floraly (not sure thats a word but it'll do)
I am also awaiting a del from Amazon of Martin Miller which we have yet to try by the way its only £20 on Amazon, also had the more well know stuff bombay,tanquery both ok,hendricks which I didn't get on with.

Just to add we only have fever tree tonic and a large balloon glass is essential

In reference to your avatar, but off topic I far prefer Magners in cans than bottles.

mr.magners

Ha ha yeah thought about changing that but would have had to change my name to, i can't remember the last time I had a Magners I should probably change it to mr. Morretti followed by a g&t but u know.
Back to the Gin got my Martin Miller del this afternoon so looks like a nice g&t while watch Line of Duty tonight.

For me I found Martin Miller a bit weak in flavour, although tbh it would make a nice hot summers day tipple.

Currently on my second double Bombay with fevertree (naturally lighter) tonic and a slice of lime. Not sure if it's better as measured 50ml gin to 150ml tonic or that I'm using fevertree instead of Sainsbury's slimline Indian tonic.
Either way, it's lovely. Out of gin now though.

It's both, tried and tested. 3:1 Fever Tree to gin and large ice cubes/lime

Now which gin to buy next...

rousetafarian

Buy a bottle of Gin Mare or Monkey 47 and let me know what you think

My mum and her other half are huge Gin fans.

They get through loads but I bought them Conker Spirit once and they keep going for more. It's distilled locally in Dorset.

I also got them Pink 47 recently which was on offer at Amazon again they gave the thumbs up.

G&T masterclass at the Bombay distillery is a must also I'm told.
