Gin is a great spirit. Goes with tons of things and is generally always better than vodka. In vegas i bought a small bottle of beer in a casino for $7 and 1.5l of gordons gin in a plastic bottle in a liquor store for $13 way to go vegas :thumbsup:

Cheap gin is a great drink for people who are in denial about being alcoholics - because drinking cheap vodka is admitting to yourself that you are indeed an alcoholic, there is at least some plausible deniability with cheap gin.

i can't taste the difference between aldi gin, supermarket own brand gin, gordons gin or bombay dry gin. I suspect its all actually the same distillery. once you're onto the fancier gins i can but all the cheap gins are perfectly serviceable

You're telling me that drinks are expensive at a casino and cheap at a liquor store? This is a game changer.

I tried to like Gin, but whatever I mix it with gives me that weird sensation similar to drinking orange juice after you brushed your teeth. :(

it was more just how cheap it was in the liquor store. the same amount of gin in the UK would cost like $40 not $13

If you like Hendricks, get this sometime. It's smoother and more aromatic, but still has that lovely rose flavor:


If you want something cheap that tastes great this german poo poo is 300+ years old, comes in earthenware jugs, and tastes like lemongrass + juniper:

This is the worst not-bottom-shelf gin I ever tasted. It's like a cheap vodka with juniper added in. The grey goose of gin. Fancy bottle that costs a lot for what you get.

I find it tastes more like juniper berries, but that just might be the gin I've tried. I like eating juniper berries (:canada:) but don't like gin. :confused:

My parents were always partial to gin. Whenever I'm at their house, my mother asks me to mix up gin and tonics, heavy on the lime juice, right before dinner.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Gin is nasty and hipsters drink it. Other than that its mostly for olds. Hth.

quality earl grey has a strong bergamot flavour, so if you infuse it with a complimentary gin it tastes really good
