Taste Of Gin

[DC_FC]

Ive recently started trying Gin, Opihr is the 1 Ive tried but not keen on the taste if drinking it straight but is much better with some tonic water, is there a Gin that can be drunk straight (that tastes nice) or are they all best with a mixer ?

Not to my knowledge otherwise I would have saved a fortune over the years. I vary between tonic, bitter lemon and ginger beer.

Trying different ones in a bar might be more economical than buying bottles you may not like. Tanqueray is good, imo Monkey 47 is the best, but I don't know if it is obtainable in the UK.

I love Gin and have tried many over the years even a strawberry flavoured one a week ago. That was actually quite nice but no, I've never liked it without a mixer.

Sipsmiths, very clean and smooth, doesn't need tonic at all. On the rocks, twist of lime and you are away. Can be drunk as a post-dinner prandial, just like a cointreau....

Millers served chilled is OK neat.

I find it too cucumbery with tonic but when chilled it is nice straight up.

Me and him both love gin and have tried many over the last couple of years. However we both prefer very different ones so it's difficult to recommend one which you would like.
Having said that, one which we both really enjoy with or without tonic, is called LoneWolf, made by BrewDog, a small brewery in Scotland. The aftertaste is lavender and pine, which sounds vile but is actually really nice.
