Gin

[The Great Jacko]

So what's the deal with this then?

 

Loads of bars advertising dozens of variety of gin. Served in big glasses now.

 

Had a great Gin at Rick Steins recently, then an OK one. Been experimenting at home and can't replicate the good one I had- they all taste of gin. If I get a flavoured Vodka I can really taste the flavour. But with gin, whether I get Orange, Raspberry or something else it really tastes of gin. I've bought the big glasses, fill with ice, sometimes a bit of orange, mint or raspberry, 1/4 or 1/3 gin, multiple fucking types of fever tree and everything still tastes the same.

 

WTF is going on?

[johnsusername]

Hipsters.

To be fair I've has 4 doubles tonight and posted in the wrong fuckin forum.I should be shooted.

I like the cunt of this thread.

[The Great Jacko]

The best is Tanqueray Sevilla (Orange) with Fever Tree Aromatic frickin Tonic. How fuckin poncy is that and it's still not orgasmic

[Anny Road]

Try Caorun or Tanquary Bombay.

I think Gini will be a revelation this year in a more attacking midfield role against the botanical sides

Bombay Sapphire

A drink for depressed middle aged women taken on by hipsters. Terrible stuff.

It’s popularity has been brought about by a lot of new distilleries opening and they have to wait 8-10 years for any cash from a decent whisky. Distilled gin is in the bottle and away the same day.

It's fucking horrible

Edit: clearly can't work out how to post an image from my phone, but this stuff is great - made from apples

[Thoth]

Bombay Sapphire is fantastic

[Trumo]

Craft gin is where it's at.

 

 

According to people I don't listen to.

Gout is out, Gin is in.

 

 

Or Mick, being in the FF, you massive tithead.

This. I was a spirits man when i was a drinker. Rum, vodka, whisky were all my weapon of choice at one time or another.

 

But not gin. Never gin.

[Tony Moanero]

Hipsters.

Boils my piss that people see “Hipster” as a subculture. It’s just cunts reinventing the wheel.

[magicrat]

My fav. Not cheap mind

[Strontium]

I used to have Panini football stickers as a kid. Gin tastes the same way they used to smell.

Strange, I remember loving the smell of fresh panini stickers straight out of the packet. Whereas I've never liked the smell of gin.

At 685 posts you should know this shit goes on the GF. I am appalled at the flagrant abuse of etiquette. 

 

Oh - just seen the reason posted above. In that case I'm in.

 

I have just started on G&T and find it quite refreshing. I am very posh though and from Cheshire, so it's quite acceptable. I just bought some Tanqueray, which is nice. I have it with a slice, ice and my little finger sticking out.

Is indeed lovely. Throw in some freshly ground black pepper and you're laughing.

[Captain Turdseye]

If I drink it I drink it with lemonade and genuinely can’t taste the difference between Tanqueray and the £10 shite they sell in Aldi.

 

It’s not bad with pink lemonade either, as long as you’re comfortable with your sexuality.
