Bought a friend a gin shelf and glasses for her birthday and Intend to give her four bottle of flavoured gin to put on it.

Question is:

Would you prefer four totally different flavours and makes of gin or
4 bottles of Whitley Neil flavoured gin in same bottles but different colours?

Too much time on my hands I know!!!!

Lots of gin snobs here!!
If your friend likes flavoured gins then buy her flavoured gins.
4 of the Same brand would look fab on a shelf but so would 4 different bottles!!! Only you know your friend! What’s her style of decor? Where is she going to put the shelf? What do you think would look best?

I’d love a friend who was going to buy me 4 bottles of gin!! do you need a new friend?

Off to google gin shelves now Gin

@DefinatelyMaybee it didn’t taste how I expected. It wasn’t tart but better than any others or a berry flavour I’ve had (other than sloe types), not sickly at all.

Interested in this thread?

I have a gin cabinet but i'm not a gin snob - i'll drink the flavoureds as well as the pures - actually can't beat Aldi's own brand London Dry, I love it - beats Bombay hands down

Sloe gin makes me want to puke however...vile stuff

clpsmum · 23/04/2021 23:32

Sloe gin is my favourite

Yeah I seem to be in the minority - it tastes like perfumed toilet cleaner to me 🤔

I’m a gin drinker and obviously have favourites. Someone bought me a bottle of Mermaid gin and I found it to be awful.
Who would have thought that a gin would be undrinkable.

I've just added a gin shelf to my list of 'things to get soon'. Gin teapot is also on there

Not one for your friend but one for you, Cathedral Gin by Cuckoo, buy it online, my Dad and his friend can do a bottle between them on a 3 day (2 night) golf trip, at the grand ages of 74 🤣
