I use Bombay Sapphire for G&Ts, and Hendrick's for martinis. Picked up a bottle of New Amsterdam last week, and I can't say I'm impressed.

While Bombay and Hendrick's are my "go-to" gins for sippin', I have to say that, dollar for dollar, New Amsterdam impressed me. Definitely NOT in hendrick's class, but at a cost at, or below that of many gins I consider "rotgut", I keep a bottle along side my Henrdicks and Bombay.

Yes, indeed, Cliff. I also enjoy NA. At $18.99 for a 1.5L, ya can't go wrong.

Just saw it on sale in a newspaper add this week for $14.99 for a 1.5L and didn't know what to think.

I'll definitely pick up a bottle now for a couple of post-yard-work G&Ts.

$14.99 for 1.5L???? I'll take two!

I'm a martini drinker and NA makes a decent martini as well.

Turns out it was a 1.75L for $14.99. I bought 2 Haven't tried a martini with it yet but will be soon.

This week they have Hendrick's 750mL bottles for $24.99 - Buy 1 get 1 free. I'm going to need a gin cabinet pretty soon.

BOGOF for Hendricks @ $24.99? ? ? ? ?

I'd be tempted to buy a case.
