Just had a couple of glasses of the Willem Barentz with Fever Tree Original and have to say it's a beautiful gin. Very aromatic but doesn't carry the same bitter aftertaste of some cheaper gins.

I highly recommend Teasmith Gin, a wonderful artisan product from a small local producer. It's distilled with tea.

On a related note, I highly recommend the Fever Tree range of tonics. They are currently on offer at Ocado, so less pricey than they usually are.Comment

My friend started making his own gin, one of those electronic stills. The first load you throw away (he uses it in his garden oil lamps) then the rest is OK.
He hasn't gone blind yet!!

If any of you gin lovers need any encouragement there are some good gin apps out there. I was previously using Ginto but the have shut it down. Now I am using Ginventory which is ok but not quite as easy to use. Helpful if you are searching for a specific gin but not great for browsing/discovering.Comment

Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla
Just got the new release from Tanqueray, Frank Sinatra's favourite gin. I tasted it neat last night and its the lightest gin I've ever tasted with a finish of bitter orange. I had planned to drink this with Sicilian lemon tonic but I don't think its strong enough for that.

I hold Tanqueray up as the gold standard for gin. Four botanicals clean, simple.
I have been wary of their varietals as I love limes and thought the Rangpur would be a killer, but I found it tasted quite synthetic... glad to hear this one is a winner.
If you are really into your gin, get yourself along to one of the many places that allows you to distil your own. I went to 45 Gin School and made a blend based on Tanqueray but building in some key flavours to give quite a soft, dry and warm sensation on the palate. It's tremendous fun!"Dear heart, you're talking to a man- a real man- who drinks straight Tequilla, with lime and salt on the rim, and smokes cigars" (J Zavala)Comment

Tanqueray is also my goto gin. Im not really a g&t person so mostly drink it in negronis and martinis. It has a nice balance in most cocktails. This looks interesting, may work well as a negroni with its orange element.Comment

Monkey 47 is my go to Gin, throw a bit of dried grapefruit in there and it?s even better.
For tonic water the best I?ve ever had is Double Dutch cucumber and watermelon, so refreshing but high in sugar if you care about that...

The Tanqueray Rangpur is excellent. Will have to get the Sevilla.Comment

It?s a bit different and I couldn?t drink too much in one sitting but I always find myself coming back to Brockmans

Edinburgh Gin Seaside is one of my favourites.
If you want a good kick, try the Edinburgh Cannonball as well.... Nice and strong
