There is no such thing as bad gin.

Is there such thing as good gin?

What would you recommend?

Try Gordon's...and Bombay Sapphire is wonderful.

Take time to enjoy the juniper berry flavor.

Drink very slowly...it is intoxicating.

If you are not careful, your appreciation will stumble into a rowdy celebration.

Martinis are best with a fine gin. Hold the vermouth to a dash or less.

Tang, BombedToday, Wifebeater. They are all good.

Bombay Sapphires is the best gin. Nothing better than Bombay and tonic in summer.

Canucks are really down on alcohol, though. No one who has ever had a DWI can even enter Canada.

Cannabis is good, though, with Canucks.

Not the biggest gin fan: far too many of them taste like a solvent I'd use on my car's engine.

Personally, the only exception to that rule that I've run into is Bombay Sapphire. Not saying there aren't some others in that price range that are really good, but I haven't ever run into another one that is both affordable and tasty (and that includes brands such as Gordons, Beefeaters, Tanqueray, and so on).

[NB: the above comments do not include the super-premium (read: $$$$$$) gins...but I refuse to drop $35 to $60 for a fifth of any clear liquor]
