What gin are you drinking?

I’m on Whitley Neill raspberry. I’m struggling for new flavours at the moment, I’ve decided I don’t like orange or lemon ones. I’m worried I won’t like gooseberry for instance. I am waiting for my local lidl to get the new Cocacaba flavour one, which I assume will be like Malibu.
What’s everyone else on?

Lundin links raspberry is lovley, and Harris Gin is great too, stunning bottle too!

Roku gin from Sainsbury's is lovely. It's the one they serve in Wagamama

Wacadu · 08/08/2020 00:17

Warners Sloe Gin. With lemonade or just ice. It's lovely.

I’m worried I’d find grapefruit too sharp

Currently on Brockmans, very nice with Appletiser. I can't have quinine, so no tonic for me.

SisyphusAndTheRockOfUntidiness · 08/08/2020 00:28

I like the raspberry gin with pink grapefruit. Well, any grapefruit actually. Or orange. Grin

Greenall blueberry. Lovely but I definitely have acid indigestion now...

Willowkins · 08/08/2020 02:52

Copper Rivet Gin. It's our local distillery.

SneakyBlinder · 08/08/2020 05:27

Elderflower Edinburgh Gin is my all time favourite.

Failing that, I’d stick with Bombay Sapphire.

Rebelwithallthecause · 08/08/2020 05:29

Not a fan of flavoured gins

Chapel Down gin is lovely, I also like a herno and a monkey 47

surlycurly · 08/08/2020 05:35

Monkey 47 is delish but expensive!!! I love Granite north or the Tobermory gin. Also a fan of the gunpowder gin with ginger ale. It feels quite autumnal!

Gotthetshirt23 · 08/08/2020 05:38

Also a plain / botanical gin drinker , gunpowder gin is fabulous, am a Craft Gin club member and it's a great way to try new .
Brecon Botanical often on offer in Morrison's is a staple on the shelf .

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 08/08/2020 07:21

All of them noted Smile - I have a list in my BuJo
My current favourite: "Berliner Brandstifter"

IrishCream123 · 08/08/2020 07:27

I’m not a big fan of the flavoured gins. My go to is always Adnams copper house gin.

TheoriginalLEM · 08/08/2020 07:29

I like hendricks with light tonic and cucumber.

Bloom botanical.

I quite like tanquerry sevilla

Not really a fan of flavoured gins .

Best gin i ever tasted was Annos 67 from a distillery in kent. Its 67% proof - you only need one!!! But the depth of flavour is amazing.

AuntieMarys · 08/08/2020 07:34

I'm on a month of no drinking but there are 12 bottles of gin in the house.
I am not a fan of flavoured gin...find them too sweet.
Love Monkey 47, Martin Miller, Roku, Grace and Silent Pool.

Lundin Gorse gin. Distilled very near me.
