Went to a shop that had a blind gin tasting and my preferences turned out to be Plymouth and Tanqueray.

Plymouth is my favorite as well. I try to stay away from Tanqueray.
I am surprised that no one mentioned Boodles, which is quite good.
Lastly, gin on the rocks is underrated.

my vote is for Plymouth, it makes a great Martini, it seems to be light on the botanicals

Since Plymouth is on a roll..... me too!
Just a shame that WLG duty free stopped stocking it a while back

Gordon's is very good for cocktails since it is inexpanisive and has a mild taste.
Still my favorite is Beefeater.
I don't get the Bombay Sapphire hype. I think it has a too strong flavour.

For the price, I am a fan of New Amsterdam. Its relatively inexpensive and it has a nice looking bottle. The taste has a bit of a citrus twist but I like that.

I'm a Martini fan and always go for Sapphire or Beefeater and never tried the Tanqueray TEN... I'll give it a try.
I once tried one called Gin Giro and I liked it but never found it again.
