Gin...

Many years ago Gin was my drink,mainly as a long drink with tonic, however I changed to whisky quite some time ago, Lately I see new types of Gin advertised, next week Aldi have about 10 different types of Gin, from £20,
I was just wondering if anyone had tried any, I don't mind spending £35 plus on a bottle of Laphroig but I am not sure about spending that on a bottle of Gin that might taste the same as a bottle of Gordon's.
Thanks in advance...

So the Bombay Sapphire factory is around 10 miles away from my house :-) (Whitchurch) Its always been my favourite gin, so I was suprised that its made down the road, and not in deepest India - you can book tours and all that.

If you haven't tried it - I would recommend it, I prefer it to Gordons :-)

I'm not a Gin drinker Alex...at least not since I was 16 when I drank too much of it and spent the next two days recuperating  ::). I do keep a bottle Tanqueray handy for friends that stop by. I'm not familiar with Aldi Gin but here's a link I found about it.

My bar bill has increased substantially since mrs rottenhead started on the gin. Drinks violet flavoured gin with tonic and Prosecco a tenner a glass. Also she has her eyes on all the new flavoured ones in Lidl. Whilst I'm hooked on the innes & Gunn craft lager, brewed in Edinburgh that Lidl now stock.

Tanqueray Rangpur is my fave at the moment.  It is a bit Bombay Saphire-ish but slightly more citrus.  I can't imagine it has seen much of India either, though I'm not sure that matters much.

Don't be tempted to buy cheap tonic though. Fever Tree is worth the expense.
