"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world"...
Who'd a thought that this phrase would ever have relevance here at CS.

Yeh, finished one of their's recently (not sure whether it was triple). I liked it but was pretty pricey for a 500ml bottle.Originally posted by DaveD View PostYou should give Never Never distilling co a try - Juniper is the focus of their gins. Try the triple juniper - i think its great. Strong piney flavors from the juniper.

"That tastes like bilgewater".
Well you can actually get a Bilgewater gin. Found it on a recent cruise in Scotland. Here's the story.
"Smaller cruise companies are also surfing the gin wave. Just over 20 years ago, the founders of Scotland’s Majestic Line, Dr Ken Grant and Andy Thoms, were horrified when a certain big-name gin brand reduced its strength from 40 per cent ABV to 37.5, in their opinion (and mine) ruining the product. So they set about producing their own, and the quaintly named Bilgewater is now the gin of choice for discerning drinkers on all Majestic sailings (cruising the coast of Scotland in a stylishly converted fishing boat while sipping Bilgewater is proving very popular indeed)."
Managed to slip a few Bilgewaters in between the single malts on offer. And the cruise was as good as it sounds.

Have tried a couple of the Australian offerings, I find them overpriced and perfumey, they simply don't suit my Palate, when you've been accustomed to a particular taste over many years I guess its probably a given that anything that doesn't pass your taste test expectation won't be to your liking, very much like espresso, I established my preferences long ago and have no desire to change, call me a rusted on tragic, I really don't mind.
Favorite spirit based summer drink is gin and tonic with a slice of lime and lots of ice in a long glass.

I love it in summer, especially as a “Negroni”
Gin/Campari/Red Vermouth on ice with a slice of orange.
