I prefer Tanqueray 10 or regular, if 10 is not available. I also recently had a chance to taste Tanqueray Rangpur. While not bad, I'll stick to 10 in the future.

Bombay Sapphire for me too, though usually the only drink I use it for is G+T+lotsa lime...always turns out good though!

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to keep an eye peeled for it.

Honestly I think even the worst British Gin is excellent - like 'em all. Martini-wise, I want herbaciousness. Damrak, Junipero, and # 209. Unfortunately 209 has bit the dust. They made a damn fine product. May they 'rest in piece'. BTW - love those tomolives ! wj

- Tanqueray 10 and normal Tanqueray

The blue is supposed to impart a "cool" quality.

The gin is clear. The bottle and perhaps your liver are the only things actually blue.

Same for the worst day golfing....

Bombay Sapphire for martinis
Tanqueray 10 for G&T

I need to give Hendriks a try based on all the posts here.

Don't know. Probably they didn't sell enough of it fast enough, were under capitalized and like a lot of small businesses, couldn't get loans after the banking collapse. wj

The Bacardi Corporation is not sure why you think it is blue, either, but they don't care...
