I’ve been drinking gin for over 50 years, mostly because of the wide variety of botanicals contributing to flavors and my enjoyment.
For a long time, my GO-TO was Beefeater’s, with a splash of tonic water and a twist of lime.
A good many years ago, a bartender in Las Vegas brought me a Bombay Sapphire with Schweppes tonic and I have had that one on my shelf ever since.
But, I’ve also tasted a good slate of others, keeping some and tossing some. They are not all ‘good’, as subjective as that notion can be.
Right now, on the Gin Shelf, I have Bombay Sapphire, Bombay Sapphire East, Dumbshanbo Gun Powder Gin, Plymouth, Roku, Statehouse, Nolet’s, Empress 1908, Builder’s, Rabbit Hole Bespoke, The Botanist, Bowling & Burch, Hendrick’s, and Fifty-Pounds Gin. Several of these are included in my book, published earlier this year.
I find the variety of Tonics (Fever Tree preferred) can contribute to enjoying Gin, too, but I always sample the spirits neat on the first pass.

Try “New Amsterdam” Gin. It is not top shelf but should be.
you will not be disappointed.
