Beefeater London Dry Gin (47%)

Rating: 14/23 It's a 13 to 14. It tastes closer to Tanqueray No Ten than regular Tanqueray does, weirdly. I'd say that this is pretty close in quality to regular Tanqueray, but I'd probably put it a tad lower. So, 13 to 14. I'll maintain the 14 for now since there's such a stylistic difference and I get the potential for difference of opinion here.

No need for anything better if you're mixing. Little need for anything better if you're sipping.

Rating: 14/23 I get big juniper and citrus (particularly lemon) flavors. It's decently oily and rich, but it's largely spicy which brings in a sense of harshness. It's cleaner than Bombay Sapphire, but less interesting and rich than Tanqueray. I'd be OK with this, but I wouldn't want to drink it neat. It's totally acceptable as a mixer though. I'd say it's comparable in quality to Regent. I'll have to get a bottle of regent as my mixer next time and do a side-by-side with the two.
