Monkey 47 is a favorite, but haven't seen it for sale in the US. A special treat when I get to visit the LH First Class Lounges.
For Gin & Tonic, I am more focused on the tonic water instead of the gin. Makes a huge difference in the drink. There are several high-end tonics that have appeared on the shelves. The LH FCL/T have stepped up with a better tonic. Make sure to ask for it instead of the Schweppes.
Although the Monkey 47 seems to have the right export strength, I'm more prone to buy some of Fentimans Tonic. Sounds like my taste. ^
