If you ever get to Delaware or know somebody that can pick you up a bottle, Dogfish Head (yeah, the beer guys) makes a wonderful sipping gin that has a real citrus quality to it.

Other than that in my G-n-T's I usually go with Tanq. Rangpur or Sapphire.

Found Tangueray 10 a few months ago and love it straight up with a cucumber slice or with tonic. This replaced Bombay Sapphire for me.

Gin martinis are my drink of choice. Lately, I've been enjoying Hindricks. But, my staple over the years has been regular Bombay ... can't seem to warm up to the almond flavor in the Saphire. Tangueray 10 is pretty good and I've had more than my share of Beefeaters because it always seems to be on sale. Unfortunately, I've never tried No. 209 or Bulldog but I'm always keeping my open for them.

That's my order, too. It's a crying shame I have to mail order North Shore at nearly twice the store price, once shipping is added in. Hence I save that for very special occasions.

In a desperate attempt to recreate North Shore's fragrant lavender overtones, I bought a bottle of Monin's Lavender syrup--the same kind you usually find coffeehouses using in mochas and Italian sodas--and while it works pretty well with a good vodka martini, the bite of the gin contrasts with the very subtle sweetness of the syrup. It's okay, if used very sparingly, but it can't touch North Shore.

It turns out that the Monin lavender syrup works wonderfully in a glass of Topo Chico, over ice, on a warm day. Quite different--it's like drinking flowers.

I'm not a huge gin guy, but I did like the Bluecoat gin out of Philly. It's very good straight, with a bit of citrus flavor.

The new Tanq Ranpoor is VERY good with tonic, but, hands down....

Also, this stuff, while not gin, will knock your socks of good.. you can smell the fresh oregon hazelnuts in it:

Has anyone tried Bluecoat? I picked up a bottle a while ago just on a whim and never having heard anything about it. I finally cracked it a while ago and it was a real surprise. I think I paid just over $20 for a fifth and I thought it was better than many higher end gins. I liked it just as well as Bombay Sapphire or Tanq Ten and better than Bulldog or New Amsterdam. I feel it has stronger citrus tastes than most gins and a little less on the juniper side. From what I've read about it is that its a American Dry Gin instead of your typical London Dry Gin, so it does taste a little different and may not be for everyone, although I really can't give you any info on what makes one a certain type vs the other. Also, on their website they say that it is 100% organic, if anyone has a preference to that too. Anyways, I would recommend to anyone looking t maybe try something a bit different and you can't really go wrong with the price.
