Too "perfume-y", imo. Hendricks, and Beefeaters (a good buy) as well, tend toward the traditional dry, British style, I think. I favor the drier style, although I will acknowledge that Hendricks is a little pricey.

I bought a bottle of Ford's Gin (distilled in London) the other day, and I like it a lot.

I like it, esp w/San Pellegrino grapefuit soda. Or FeverTree's bitter lemon. Or just plenty of fresh lime juice and lots of ice.

If you like Plymouth, the jensens or smooth ambler is the same style of classic London dry. The botanicals are toned down but present. Basically you're not drinking a Christmas tree infested with juniper berries.
