Gin Lovers Unite!

I went to the Sipsmith distillery on Saturday night. And now I have a new favourite gin! The vodka was lovely too - I couldn't believe it was so good straight up, cooled but not chilled.

Good show! It's a great place to visit.
If you're a gin fan in London you might want to check out The Juniper Society or on Facebook here. Next one is on Monday 14th. There's a handful of Vintage/New Sheridan Club folks there too.

Gin from The Badger State

I've recently been enjoying Death's Door Gin from WI, USA. Has anyone else tried it?

I first tried it in Chicago a few years ago when it first came out. I liked it well enough (though I recall thinking:Is this stuff really good or do I just like it because I grew up sailing Death's Door..) but it wasn't widely available at the time and I kinda forgot about it, until it blew up and I started seeing it all over Manhattan.

Still, I've yet to buy a bottle, in fact I can't recall even seeing it in a liquor store. Hard to believe it made it across the pond.

Sounds good, but I am a Facebook abstainer!

There are only a few places so far (it's been here about 6 months) we went to the brand manager's office which is where we managed to get one. I must admit the fact it was from Wisconsin was a big draw for me too.

Haha! Good for you. Monday's Gin-feature will be Gin Mare (Mediterranean Gin with Olive, Rosemary & Basil botanicals) it's free entry and a free G&T on arrival! Starts at 19:00 for 19:30.

I'll be exiled to Southend on Sea on Monday, but I'll put the 11th April in the diary.

Personally, I am a Tanqueray fan, be it the "Rangpur", or "Ten" variety. My preference is for a lime wedge, and indian tonic.......oh, and a large glass!

I am quite tempted to try "No. 3 London Dry" though, does anyone have any reviews to share?

Cheers,

Danny O

Is the next one this Monday? I can't find any details!

 

[Ethan Bentley]

It is indeed. 19:00 for 19:30 start, should be some vintage folks from the New Sheridan Club too, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=191356324236433&index=1

Lovely! Thanks!

I'm normally a Tanqueray guy, be it "Ten", or "Rangpur", but recently tried Berry's No. 3, in a Dry Martini. Very nice, I'm not converted, but a bottle is on order, to sit alongside the Tanq.

Oh YUSS! I didnt see this thread until I posted in the "what did you drink lastnight" thread! Gin and tonic is my favourite drink at the moment, I find it really refreshing :love:

It looks like you found it anyway! I find it very "moreish".......tall glass, some ice (not too much, otherwise there's not enough room for the gin!), lime wedge, Tanqueray Ten or Rangpur, topped up with Indian tonic.

It's early, but the sun is out, and I could just go pour one, now!

 

[shazzabanazza]

:lol: Do it, do it!

I love indian tonic, I used to drink it when I was pregnant with my second born.

.....and then a 9 month wait, until you could add the gin, no doubt! lol

You know fellas and gals, all this talk about fancy gins gets me thinkin'. I am from the great state of Indiana (more a state of mind...if you like corn, soybeans, and basketball), and I must say that the gin I find myself drinking the most is Seagram's. Laugh if you must, but for the money and hangover factor, Seagram is my main man. In fact, I had the lime-infused Seagram's the other day, and it was fantastic with some nice Meijer-brand tonic. The gin purists may laugh, but I felt great the next day with no hangover and reveled in the fact that yes, it may be the bottom of the barrel, but it's the gin of choice for me!

 

[shazzabanazza]

Im a Seagers gal, so we in the same boat Gene :lol: I havn't tried any other brands of gin BUT I do intend too!
