Does it taste differently now, like they went cheaper ingredients to boost profits? Any replacement options with similar flavor profile? As far as my Gin of choice. I was never a Gin drinker until I fell upon Cotswolds Gin. We were in Bath and taking a flight out and the distillery was handing out samples in the duty free shop near the club lounge. I loved the taste. I brought a couple of bottles back with me to the states. When that ran out, I tried Sipsmiths, Plymouth, etc. but they just don't taste the same, and I wouldn't have become a Gin drinker had those been my options. Perhaps a more knowledgeable person than myself can tell me why I love their Gin. Their Whiskey was why I stopped at the sampling, but it didn't grab me like the Gin did.
