Hah, nice.
I saw Monkey 47 at Whole Foods over the weekend. It was $45 for a small bottle. Which doesn't help you, I realize... |

Thanks! Will be in US in November, so I'll keep an eye open then.

Boston area.
In the SFO bay area I have been quote happy with the "The Wine Club" but havn't looked if they have setup shop on the east cost as well. EDIT:// just checked, seems they are not part of a chain, so no luck in Boston :) |

My next purchase will be:
Martin Miller Westbourn Strength (which I can't find around here). I'm going to pick up a non westbourn strength, which is easy to find for me. St. Geogre Dry Rye Gin Plymouth: I better keep a bottle around the house For a plain G&T I like the local Death's Door gin but it might be too heavy on the botanicals for some. |
Been a fan of Monkey 47 for quite a while and always bring a few bottles back from Germany. Think I may have preferred it when it was less well known!
Also like g'vine nouaison and an Australian gin called 4 pillars. |

It changes the taste of a product if more people know/like it - the taste of exclusivity? :rolleyes:

Blue Gin from Austria would be my choice. It is made from 27 botanicals by Hans Reisetbauer. Hans Reisetbauer is Austria's most awarded Distiller.

Definitely the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE.

Tanqueray Rangpur. First tried this at Wynn LV and haven't looked back since. It has a slight rangpur lime flavor that makes it great in a martini, G&T, or just on the rocks. ABV 41.3% as opposed to regular Tanqueray which is 47.3%, and it is very smooth.
I tasted it again last week for the first time in over four years. (I just returned from an extended assignment in Singapore, where my gin options were more limited.) Maybe the intervening years have exaggerated my memory of the taste, but it seems like the lime flavor is more subtle than I remember. Still good, though. |

I am going to try it as a G&T next, but cannot see myself purchasing any more of it. |
Favorite Gin
Not to revive an old thread, but based on this thread I bought a few bottles of monkey 47 when I came across it a little bit ago. The stuff is amazing. Really fantastic. Thanks to all for the rec.

Plymouth is great as is Hendricks. Currently working on a bottle of Brooklyn Gin. Also consider Bootlegger 21.
Seeing the reviews for Minkey, I have to find it. |
