I usually use Hendricks. Looking for a different option.

I like Tanqueray.

But I did recently get some Hendricks and muddle some cucumber and basil leaves in the glass before pouring the G&T, and it was pretty awesome.

Controversial topic around here but St. George Gin is really good.


picked up a sampler pack a few months ago at Cuban and they were all excellent.

I switched from other gins to Hendrick's and now the others just don't taste nearly as good.

I don't know Brennan's but that Brandon's looks good.

If you're using shite tonic, the gin won't really matter, FWIW.

Is really hard to beat. Plymouth is nice for the price as well.

I go with Hendricks when I'm out and Junipero at home.

Bombay Sapphire or Hendricks are the two best imo

To Sapphire drinkers, you don't find it too sweet for a G&T?

Exactly. Some tonic waters are just awful...taste that stuff straight before you waste decent gin.

I don't but I haven't had one with another gin in quite some time. I tend to find what I like mixed drink wise and stick to it. Not the case for beer, which I like to try as many as possible.
