re: Good Quality Gin

I generally go with Citadelle or Prairie. Both are very affordable and taste great.

I don't drink it a lot, but I make a gin and tonic or Negroni now and then.

Once had some Hendricks, Bombay Sapphire, and cheap-arse Seagram's on hand. Set up shots for sipping/tasting.

It was remarkable how different they tasted. And you could really make a case for each, including Seagram's, depending on what you preferred.

If you're ever in Charleston, SC, a great local gin called Hat Trick would be right up your alley. Very nice and floral. It's my go to.

I'm usually a Bombay Saphire kinda guy. But when I'm not, I go to this:

Made from the same base spirit as our Oryza®® Vodka, our Louisiana-inspired gin is hand crafted in small batches using 11 botanicals: Juniper, Satsuma, Lavender, Oris Root, Cantaloupe, Coriander, Pink Peppercorn, Angelica Root, Paradise Seed, Orange Peel, and Lemon Peel.

Been a long time since I drank any Gin. There was a time two or three of us got on a "Salty Dog" kick. Seagrams "bumpy face" and pink grapefruit ruled.
