I'm glad to look back and see that I didn't like New Amsterdam 6 years ago. I haven't tried anything too expensive since then, but martinis definitely taste better with Tanqueray 10 or Hendricks. I still go back to Tanqueray Rangpur Lime as a more affordable gin for martinis. I think that lime tastes different in the sweltering Phoenix heat.
