Mclain - I thought of you the other day when I tried this. http://greenhatgin.com Best gin I've EVER had.

[mclaincausey]

Last night I had one of the finest gin cocktails I've ever had: North Shore #6 gin, Lemon, Earl Grey infused simple Syrup, Egg White, Orange Bitters, shaken and strained into a coupe glass with a garnish of a lemon rind. I had wanted to get this drink called the Juliet & Romeo (Plymouth gin, Lime, Mint, Cucumber, Rose Water, shaken, strained into coupe) which is also a work of genius but I'm glad I experimented with this one.

I also tried a dessert-like potation called Booth in the Back:  Brugal Anjeo, Rhum Barbancourt 4yr, Brown Sugar Syrup, Whole Egg, Coffee Pecan Bitters, shaken, strained into highball over ice. Very good.

Peter, I hated gin after a bad Sapphire and Tropicana experience in college (fine, judge away). I have recently turned into an absolute gin drunkie.

I recently converted from Bombay to Hendricks.  Lovely stuff.

Haven't been able to get into gin, but if I had to drink it, Hendricks for me too

As for gin, some of my favorites:

• Gin Mare
• Monkey 47
• Berlin Adler Dry Gin
• Brockman's Gin

On a different note, just scored the 2nd release from Absolute Craft by Nick Strangeway: Smokey Tea

Need to try soon…

Has anybody tried the Knob Creek Smoke Maple? I've heard good things, but it looks scary.

[Giles]

Was that question prompted by the T&A post?

[seawolf]

haha, no! It was legitimately about bourbon

[mclaincausey]

Flavored whiskey conceptually jars my narrow mind
