Thanks
6% cashback on cashrewards or ShopBack. Vs 2.5% on this via cashrewards. Even if you had Amazon Prime AND discounted wish cards (as I do), Amazon is still better if you value your time (3.5% more cashback + delivery beats 5% discount from wish cards with no delivery). Or to put it another way : it's worth more than $0.73 to get it delivered 😉
No stock on Amazon
Amazon OoS now
My go-to reasonably priced gin (when its on sale).
Best Gin at this price point IMHO
How does this compare to Bombay?
I like the Bombay too.
I feel it is smoother, almost fruity.
I bought this from Costco a few months ago and can confirm it's a really nice gin. Worth a try for this price.
How do you guys like to have your gin?
E.g. gin and tonic, neat, or any other interesting combinations?
A nice tonic (i.e. not Schweppes) try Fever Tree
I like the Roku on ice though
I like Schweppes tonic (not the diet version though which is rank). The Aldi tonic is not bad either.
Schweppes is OK. Fever Tree is excellent, but just too expensive - not worth the premium over Schweppes. I'd probably stretch to the Fever Tree if the bottles were 300ml like the Schweppes, since that's just about enough to get 2 G&T's out of, and I'm usually drinking them with my wife so it works out well. But at 200ml it's probably too much for 1 but not enough for 2, so you end up needing to open 2 anyway.
Tonic, ice, lemon slice, short glass
my mate told me to add around 3-4 slices of cucumber into whatever gin mix. It's honestly so good, super refreshing.
I usually have cucumber with Hendricks. Otherwise lemon or lime.
Haven't tried the Roku though
Bombay doesn't need lemon as it already has lemon peel as an ingredient. A bit of lime is okay though. Read it on their website years ago.
Roku goes really well with ginger.
Try a Negroni. Equal parts gin, Campari and red vermouth. That's my go to cocktail these days.
My favourite tonic is the Capi dry, not too sweet.
A classic cocktail - all alcohol too!
Maybe my taste buds aren't refined but I tend to use a cheaper gin in my negronis. Do you guys taste much of the Gin in a negroni?
How pretentious do you wanna get?
Tonie and a squeeze of an orange.
Soda water + lime.
Tonic affects the gin flavours.
Yep I am beginning to enjoy my gins with soda instead of tonic. I find you can taste the gin much more, plus not to mention the copious amounts of sugar that tonic has.
Thats why I mostly buy the 'Sugar Free' tonic these days.
Yeah once you go soda and lime you can't go back to Tonic.
Dry martini, all the way. Although play with martinis, I've had the occasional good dirty one, sometimes with bitters is good, with a really good vermouth I might go heavy on that and make it a wet one, but usually just go 2:1 with a decent gin, stir over ice and into a glass (never, ever shake it).
I'm not a fan of tonic, so I go gin, soda water, fresh mint and lime/lemon (whichever I have on hand, lime is better). Add some simple syrup and you have a tom collins if someone likes the sweet/sour twist.
This particular gin works great with tonic and a slice of fresh ginger
Lime juice, salt and mint leaves.
Sipping on it and juice
While I'm rolling down the street smoking indo
Edit: lol anyone else have a hemp gin ad on this page?
tonic or Fever Tree with Elderflower syrup! Highly recommend. :)
I love this gin becuase for some reason it tastes really good with Schweppes Tonic water, which is cheap.
Lime wedge and grapefruit bitters work well with this.
Usually half soda, half tonic with either lime, cucumber or a sprig of rosemary.
Nice bottle
The contents of it are pretty good, too! :D
Thanks for this!
Stocked up, awesome price.
This actually sounds like a nice gin!
Is the normal price around $54?
It's currently $67 at Liquorland but it's almost always available somewhere for around $54.
Good price.
Should also be $49.50 at First Choice today with their 10% off if that's more convenient than Uncle Dan's for anyone.
Does this do Atmos?
