With "brown spirits" banned from the house, I can still find a way to get my Bruichladdich in!

One of the Kings in the gin world. Great handcrafted gin from Islay. Make sure to use a tonic which is worthy.

Delicious, but Monkey47 still the favorite and Greylock and St. George's Terroir close contenders.

By far one of the best balanced gins I've had - robustly flavored, distinct botanicals but smooth as silk. By far my favorite gin, and I've tried a lot!!!

This makes a great Gin and Tonic! Even strait up the flavor is very robust. Over ice it mellows a bit and opens up the dynamics of the botanicals.
