[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 3459013, member: 75143"]I found that I needed a destructive hobby, so I started exploring gin. I've now finished around a dozen bottles in the past year or so, and have gotten a pretty good taste for what's "good" and what is "not good." My absolute favorite is Tanqueray Rangpur. $19-22/bottle, it has an amazing lime taste with extreme citrus notes. Delightful. One can drink a water glass of this stuff and love every drop. Best for mixing is, hilariously enough, New Amsterdam. $10/bottle, it's super smooth but with little complexity. Excellent for mixing in a drink where the idea is not to taste the gin so much as have the gin in there. Worst so far is Gray Whale. $52/bottle, this is the most expensive gin I've ever purchased. It's made of a blend of California botanicals, the worst offender being [I]sea weed[/I]. If you ever wanted to take a shot of pure ocean water, this is the way to do it. Only palatable with tonic, and even then it's not good.[/QUOTE]
