Agreed, and at risk of flames I say that Bombay Sapphire is gin for vodka drinkers ! It really has little taste compared to, say, Tanqueray or Beefeater.
One thing’s for sure, clear spirits like gin and vodka need to be at least 90 proof to be worth a damn.
Tanqueray was always my standard for gin, but back in the old days I could seldom afford it. Obama seems to be bringing back those days when you can’t afford much.
