Some of the "craft" gins taste like ground up pine needles that a bird turded on before they fell to the ground and the bear peed on them. But some are delicious and taste like a cocktail all alone - just add a few rocks. I really despise Tanqueray. For tonic or something unfussy, I'll take the Hendricks, or Bombay (not Sapphire).
