I really used to like a simple gin and tonic in the summer months but I have gone of it now. Not because I'm sick of it or anything. I just don't like the fad of all these flavoured gins. I don't know why it's affected me like this but every time I go out and see all the flavoured gins I just roll my eyes at it. Petty I know. |

Simple Gins like Tanquery are lovely.. and I did buy a bottle of Whitby Gin at Christmas… string but wonderful.
My guilt my pleasure is Whitley and Neil’s Parma Violet Gin … not easily found, but love it.

In order of preference/best:
Rhubarb & ginger gin

Plum gin
Chilli & lime gin
Rhubarb g orange
Elderflower

Is it me!!
Or has Gin really taken off over the last five or so years, there seems to be so many flavours now, it’s hard to choose, and vodka seems to be doing the same thing , mind not so much as Gin? |

I’ve been drinking it for longer than I can remember but there are more, smaller distilleries cropping up. I don’t mind flavoured gins (I made my own home-grown damson one year but wasn’t keen) but not a fan of liqueurs.
I think they rotate & rum seems to be really popular now |

As for Rum, I do like Dead Man's Fingers |
