Gordon's London Dry Gin (40%)

Not great but for a long time in the past it was all bars had. I respect the brand because it was one of the first. Only use if you have no other option

October 4, 2021 I’m a recent convert to gin, though I still love good whiskey and all that. I’ve been trying some premium gins, and they were all very acceptable, but some, such as Monkey 47, are steep in price, and this bottom shelf, workhorse bar staple, is about a quarter the price, eh? Besides being perfectly acceptable in a gin & tonic, it’s far from wretched as an everyday neat sipper, besides which there’re all manner of handy additives and tinctures, starting with Angostura bitters, that one may add to jazz up the flavor profile a notch er two, eh? Actually, I liked this brand from the very moment I read Stephenie Moreno’s review, giving it a/score of 89/100. Cheers, gin fans!

Third tasting of the evening. 3/5 bottle. The smell of herbs, juniper does not dominate, a bit of vodka. The taste is bitter perfume. Made in Scotland, not Canada! With Schweppes cocktail. Very watery taste. A bit of an incomprehensible tart aftertaste.
