I mean, technically I think gin is just a neutral spirit (i.e., vodka) with botanicals. There's no reason you can't have a cucumber-flavored gin. It's just not what people think of when they think gin, usually.
I’m with you on a preference for Plymouth. Interesting insight on the cucumber aspect of Hendricks. I hadn’t noticed it before, but will try to pay attention if I have the occasion to try it again.

I’m still in amazement of your post about the price of Monkey 47 at $47.99. How appropriate!
