Normally go for Hendricks or Sipsmith but fancy a change.

Stranger &Son is my fave.

Also like Monkey 47 although it’s a bit “Bruce”

Makar
Botantist
Harris
Cuckoo Sunshine
Spirit of Garstang Black Raspberry, I don't normally do flavoured gins but this is lovely.
Make your own sloe gin or better still, elderberry gin.

I'm currently having a glass of Trevethan gin, it's lovely.

Another vote for Roku its gorgeous.....however do not buy Norfolk Gin....its vile....everyone that came to our house and tried it also disliked it.

Agreed on Norfolk. I was given a small tasting size one at Christmas and I really disliked it. As did my friend who I've never known dislike any gin ever!

Cotswold Gin. Goes cloudy when you add tonic. Has a lovely intense gin flavour.

GameChanger54321 · 27/04/2023 21:55

I'm a Hendricks or Bombay kind of girl usually and would pair with tonic and elderflower cordial (I have a sweet tooth) but tried the Gordon's Cherry version and it's so bloody nice!

Spaceman101 · 27/04/2023 21:57

Henley gin. I'm enjoying the slightly spiced one at the moment thegintomytonic.com/shop/henley-gin-oriental-spiced/ but the original one is also excellent

Decoart · 27/04/2023 21:58

Xoriguer or Cotswold gin

Kvetching · 27/04/2023 21:59

Another vote for Plymouth. Or Tanqueray.

I like ‘ginny’ gin, not over adulterated.

FrangipaniBlue · 27/04/2023 22:19

Roku
The One (Lakes Distillery)
Tanqueray Rangpur Lime

All have a "fresh" taste, not dissimilar to a glass of Schweppes lemonade!

clpsmum · 27/04/2023 22:31

Bathtub gin is my favourite

IAteAllTheTomatoes · 27/04/2023 22:35

Buss 509 Elderflower with pink grapefruit as a mixer.

Bombay & Dingle are lovely too.

50 pounds gin is fabulous.

Can you recommend me a gin?

Twisted nose. Just fab www.twistednose.co.uk/

longtompot · 27/04/2023 23:17

My favourite used to be Winchester dry gin, but Barra has taken over, but would love either.
I also really liked Lone Wolf Brewdog gin. It's quite a big flavour which my dh wasn't so keen on.
Lots of nice sounding ones recommended here so will have a proper look through.

SourDoughToast · 27/04/2023 23:22

Have tried absolutely loads of gins and my favourite is Roku.

Beautiful delicate flavour.
