Speaking of gin, do I want a highland scotch or a Speyside scotch?

I really like gin. Early experiences with punch your nose in the face with juniper tanqueray made me not like it. But man there is some good stuff.

Easily my fav summer cocktail is a tom Collins with good gin and it's not close.

Hendricks

Better if made in Europe

I do like gin, but I'm definitely not a connoisseur.

I'm happy with Bombay Sapphire. I also like the stuff from Amalga Distillery in Juneau, AK, cleverly named Juneauper Gin.

Big fan of Bombay Sapphire

Sapphire and I have a tricky relationship. It’s a good all arounder. But it’s a bit too floral and juniper forward I think for Martinis. Plymouth is the best martini gin and it’s not close. And Hendricks to @whlinder ’s point is the GOAT for Gin and tonic with all its cucumber notes.

Portugal had the best gin drinks on the continent.

I need to start a Tom Collins phase.

One of my critiques of the new craft distillery gins is that they get way too carried away with the botanicals. I had a nip of some local Ducktard gin at our farmers market and it tasted like I ate a ponderosa pine.

Love me some Bombay Sapphire. So much so I don't drink it anymore except on rare, special occasion.
