Rating: 15/23 It's smoother, oilier, and richer than Beefeater. All around, I'd say it's better. It's more earthy and complex. It really isn't at all fruity, so Tanqueray No Ten might be a better option for anyone looking for some nice citrus. It's just a very nice gin that can be sipped or mixed. (Note: this tasting is from a mini bottle that's who even knows how old, so the recipe might have changed or the fact that something like 20% of the liquid had already evaporated could be to blame. Still, the balance and flavor profile are really nice.) Of the big three gins, this would be my go-to. It has better flavors than Bombay Sapphire and likes the harshness of Beefeater while also having this swirling complexity that is interesting to contemplate. So a solid choice as a mixer or a sipper.
