    Default Any gin drinkers here?


    OK I am a newbie and I drink cheap gin. Recently bought a case of Seagram's "Special Reserve." Good price and not a bad gin. I prefer Boodles but am drinking Seagrams for the price. I prefer it with a good Spanish Manzanilla olive and no vermouth. I sometimes add a drop or two of a decent Scotch in lieu of said vermouth.

    I almost got some on Tuesday am.. opted for Vodka instead..
    Gin is ok... but Vodka on the other hand is one of the few that wont give me that regrettable feeling the next day..

    Long ago and far away I would drink Martinis all the time.For the price.Gilby's Martini Gin was very good.A store brand ABC GIN was unexpectedly good for martinis and sold at rot-gut prices.Add vermouth etc.with an eye dropper,1 or 2 drops.Get a metal shaker with lid and strainer.Shaking bruises the gin and adds air to he drink,a nice drink.Swirling(not stiring) the Gin in the shaker will make a very cold drink and form ice crystals(nice) doesn't add air or bruise the Gin making a subtley diff.drink than the shaken Martini.Good sipping...

    Hendricks, Bombay Saphire, Tanquray. If one runs out the bottle is replaced. Saphire is smooth enough to drink on rocks with a lime wedge.
    It works like a vaporizer. We'll get stoned through the vents on the way there.

    Not a big gin fan but I'd subscribe to a bourbon thread. For sure.

    Maybe you should rephrase that overgrowem so we can understand what you actually mean because all Gin is aromatic.

    Had in mind the gins that have a HEAVY aroma.The Bombay gins seems to be the leader here, with Saphire having the best smell IMO..I smell them all at work,but I am not the bartender so I'm not up on each brand name.
