What’s your favourite gin?

I want to buy someone some gin as a gift but I don’t like it myself. What’s your favourite and why?

or Ophir
it depends on mood and occasion too, these are quite winters spiced gins, in summer I don’t mind something lighter and fruitier.

Check out the Gin bothy- amazing.

Bontanist
Old Toms Bathtub
Harris
Edinburgh
Hendricks
Harbour Gin

I consider myself a disgraceful gin drinking expert 😉
Rock Rose and Tanqueray 10 are exquisite “proper” gins.
quite surprised nobody else has recommended this

with Mediterranean tonic, ice and orange it’s delicious

I’m another vote for Tarquin’s gin.

Salcombe Start Point

Mermaid gin- made in the Isle of Wight. Lovely gin and comes in a beautiful bottle so perfect as a present

This is like a gin wish list!!

I like to buy local so try to buy when we go on hols.
Best recently Macclesfield forest (earl grey gin is fab too and wincle beer is amazing!)
And Anything from Hay Distillery.
I also go to local gin shops and ask (pooley bridge one is a fave - loads of local)
