Bombay Sapphire or Gordons?

Think I am leaning towards Bombay Sapphire. More flavour it seems to me although my head hurts this morning....

 

[DanielT]

Tanqueray is the third option you need

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Gordons, Bombay too 'flowerey' by far

Easily available?

 

[DanielT]

Yes I know sainsburys sell it for sure. It's so nice you could drink it without a mixer

 

[Rugrat]

Yeah Tanqueray is my fav, not entirely sure why, habit I guess

Between Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray

Hendricks for me, well worth the extra couple of quid. Try it with cucumber, trust me, it works.

100% this. Hendricks all the way

Any gin in a coloured bottle is hiding something, it's not crystal clear, so the makers put it in coloured glass. Go for gin in a clear bottle, that's what a master distiller told me once.

It's all about the Tanqueray No10 and the Plymouth Gins!

Hendricks or Bombay Saph. The tonic should be Fever Tree, and it should be served with either lime or cucumber - NEVER Lemon.

Thats because cucumber is one of the main botanicals in Hendricks

I like a drop of Gordons.

I bought a bottle of organic gin at Xmas, I thought the bottle looked nice (can't remember the name of it), but I didn't like it one bit. I did the same for Sloe Gin, I thought ... it's Gin, it's fruity, what's not to like, but I was wrong. I hated it.

More importantly get decent tonic. All those expensive carefully selected and distilled botanicals and then the great majority of people (and bars and hotels) pour in fizzy water with sacharin and/or aspartame in. Seriously taste the tonic and read the ingredients its shocking.
Extensive research has revealed that waitrose own brand tonic is free of artificial sweeteners, if you're looking to splash out the (substantial) extra for a bottle of fever tree, lush with the hendricks.

Tanqueray is my mainstream favourite, though partly because I once had a spectacularly dirty weekend in one of the swanky flats where the distillery used to be.

Absolutely the best, even if is Scotish!!! And I agree the cucumber works well

Brecon Gin, very popular in these parts.
