Normally go for Hendricks or Sipsmith but fancy a change.

Love Plymouth gin and the best bottle. Sort of 30s and solid. Still distilled in the Barbican, Plymouth.

Oooh I see some other mumsnet tees of taste and distinction have already recommended it.

Dockyard gin - made just by Chatham Dockyard and is lovely

Persie Gin (the Labrador one is my favourite)
Whitby Gin
Dyfi Distillery
Ribble Valley Gin

Mermaid. The zest one.

Place marking for ideas.

Mermaid Zest gin (green bottle) is fabulous.

Xoriguer is my favourite, but can be hard to get. I also love Aviation, which I can get at the supermarket, so that's the one I usually drink

Tanqueray 10

Botanist or Bathtub are both really lovely.

HomeSeck · 27/04/2023 18:48

Brockmans

Or just a classic Bombay

Mason's

Rock Rose

skilpadde · 27/04/2023 18:50

I like trying the Rock Rose special editions. At the moment, I'm enjoying their smoked orange gin.

SunshineandSangria · 27/04/2023 18:58

Brockmans heaven in a glass add a slice of orange and a couple of blueberries perfect

fussychica · 27/04/2023 19:00

Silent Pool, Carroun or Tanqueray 10 were my go to gins but recently tried Warners, lovely stuff.

GayPareeee · 27/04/2023 19:04

Harris (and gorgeous bottle too)
East London gin

Whatevergetsyouthroughthenight · 27/04/2023 19:08

There are a lot of bad ‘artisan’ gins out there. My baseline is Gordon’s, cheap but good, then going up the scale:

Bombay Sapphire, Plymouth, Tanqueray

Something more expensive (available in Waitrose) is Ramsbury Gin.

Cheers!

Whatevergetsyouthroughthenight · 27/04/2023 19:12

Ooh, Ramsbury is on offer at Waitrose £24.50 reduced from £30 for 70cl

river2 · 27/04/2023 19:12

Tarquin’s gin (it’s Cornish, in a blue
bottle) is the best gin there is!

thinkfast · 27/04/2023 19:12

Aviator gin is lovely

CallieQ · 27/04/2023 19:12

Love a pink gin... Mermaid
