r/Gin
Anyone had this?
Saw this at the store and was curious if anyone has had it/is it as good as the original?
This bottle of gin has been in a cabinet in my house unopened possibly since before I was born
Worth anything? Good to drink?
Perfect for the "Adult Lemonade Stand" I'm planning for a yard party
Found this amazing guy at Goodwill for $13! Was just looking for a classic glass server, and couldn't believe my luck!
Threw together a floral kinda bees knees
I was planning on a cherry blossom bees knees but once everything was in the shaker I realized I had a liqueur and not a gin(I don't know why I thought this bottle was gin). So I added some Flora Adora and it came out pretty nice, although I wish I was more floral
2oz Cherry Blossom liqueur
1.5 oz Flora Adora
3/4 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz honey syrup
Shake and pour into glass, garnish with luxardo cherry
gin recommendations from these? I've tried the mainstream ones like hendricks, roku and bombay
Oops. My collection is getting out of hand…
107 bottles at the moment. Oops!
Not best picture but any recommendations? I know botanist is good but haven’t tried it.
STiL Gin Review
This gin was very very cheap and so I picked it up here in DFW out of curiosity. There is no website nor any information on the bottle.. the website mentions anise, citrus, and floral. You all know I can be quite critical of a lack of information on a bottle of liquor. Very sketchy..
The smell is very much like New Amsterdam Stratosphere. I ranked that gin as 2.2/5 but I should have ranked it around .8… this gin, smells only slightly better. Still synthetic and sugary syrupy smell. Some interesting spice notes but drowned in a factory smell that reminds me why people in America hate gin.
The taste is similar to the smell. Tastes very much like New Amsterdam, horrible syrup taste. But there is a fascinating spice note coming from the anise that reminds me of chocolate, but not interesting enough to save this gin.
Overall- 2.3/5, .1 points higher than New Amsterdam, should be lower but I need to be consistent and this is technically better than NA. Just buy Gordon’s at this price point…
A few South African gins
Local botanicals galore, many from the Cape floral region. Visited Pringle Rock distillery earlier this month (producers of the Rooibos-infused Rockjumper); well worth it if you’re ever in Pringle Bay.

Anyone in the Raleigh area wanna do a meet up and Gin tasting?

Looking for a Gin to ask my buddy to be my best man with
Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for a gin that I can give to my friend when asking him to be my best man. He really likes tanqueray but I want to get something a little more fancy. My budget is $150
Am I overreacting?
Hi gin people, I am *not* a gin person but hoping you can help me translate something a little deeper than gin.
Last night I hosted drinks for a small party, making a few themed cocktails. I was talking while I was prepping and one of the attendees- a friend of a friend- asked me what kind of gin I had. I had Brokers, and mentioned that I bought it because I don't usually drink gin so it seemed like a solid option that would do just fine for my purposes. Homegirl said it wasn't bad, "a little better than Beefeater," but later made a few offhanded comments about things she would do/have differently if she were hosting people in her home for cocktails.
Reddit, I'm trying to figure out if I should up my game and am actually not a great host or if this girl was unfounded and trying to pick a fight with me. Did I unknowingly serve these people the equivalent of watermelon Smirnoff?? It was a mixed drink and I wasn't claiming it was anything spectacular. Please give me the gin context I need here to know if I need to watch my back around this friend, haha!
How do folks feel about Fentimans Tonic Water?
I usually make my own with syrup and sparkling water. I saw this on sale at the store and decided to give it a try because of the ingredient description. Put it in a G&T with Minori Roku. I thought that combo was pretty good, but I’m not sure it would go well with many other kinds of gin.
