I don't recall what the wholesale prices were but they were quite similar. Tito's though is quite expensive, even at wholesale prices.

Well, I like gin but I usually try not to drink a lot of it (seems to give me a far worse hangover than vodka). I have to yield to the expertise of others on this board though. The majority on the board seem to think Gordon's is awful. And if DL is switching brands to align costs it must be cheaper than the Tanqueray. I want no part of it. I have Tanquary and Bombay in my collection at home so I'll just enjoy it there.
Since the vodka (my primary drink) is apparently going to Gordon's I guess that is out too. While Ketel One is my favorite vodka, Skyy was perfectly acceptable. I suppose I'll be left with Jack Daniels since they are also getting rid of the CC.
