Martin Miller is my favorite for drinking straight or in a Martini.

I bought several bottles of gin called Tall Cotton by Delta Dirt Distillery in Arkansas recently. I'm not much of a gin drinker but it's an interesting bottle and the gin tastes good to me.

What does the recipient like to mix with their gin, cluckster? This will determine the appropriate answer.

For instance, I enjoy Hendricks, but it isn’t good for a Negroni IMO.

not 100% sure, but likely for martinis. or gin and tonics.

Roku is versatile and reasonable. So is Hendricks.

I’m no expert, but I enjoy Hendrick’s with tonic or in a gin mule.

You can't go wrong with Hendricks or Botanist

How much are you trying to spend? Nolets Reserve is excellent but it’s around $600 - $700 a bottle.

Hendricks if you just want something good and not very expensive.

Monkey 47 if you want something that that’s good but outside of the normal Hendricks/Beefeater. Gunpowder is good.

Hendrick’s gets my vote, perfect for a “Dirty Politician”,,,

This is the correct answer. I’ve tried quite a few and always come back to this.
