I've been trying little "sampler" bottles looking for a decent gin.
Hendrick's tastes like cucumbers and has a glycerine mouthfeel.
Bombay Sapphire tastes "off."
Martin Miller is just plain weird.
Right now I think I like Tanqueray, with Beefeater a close second.
I'd like to try Gordon's (it's cheap) but can't find a sampler size bottle.
Would like to try Junipero but might have to ask a bartender for that one.
Gordon’s isn’t bad. It’s not in the same class as Tanqueray, but it’s all right.
I tried Bombay Sapphire and didn’t see what the hype is about. With Tanqueray I can taste something special. Blue Sapphire didn’t taste bad, but it didn’t taste especially good either.
