Welcome!!
I agree I'm 28 and nobody I know touches Gin, although I have turned some of my friends on to it! There's really nothing like it!

As Peter said read all 12 pages there's tons of info on here, and you'll have an expensive shopping list next time you run to the store!

Ha! i just turned 19 and absolutely love the stuff. straight or half and half in a medium Martini. Always have a bottle of The Botanist underneath my computer table. it's so cheap i don't feel badly about drinking it at all!

and honestly, i'm into gin for two reasons besides flavour: 1. can make it at home 2. cheapness. i don't want any expensive gins!!

More power to you!!
As stated in an older post I drank warm shots of it when I was 11 or 12 out of a friends parents liquor cabinet and got so sick id never drink it again! 15 years later tried it and fell in love! Either way welcome and I'll leave it at this- a better gin does make a hell of a difference!

This is the exact same thing that happened to me. One summer before 10th grade we were doing shots of everything in my mom's liquor cabinet. We got to the gin, I took one shot and ran to the sink. Haven't touched it since then until a few weeks ago and really like it now.
