I have a unopened bottle of Bombay Spahhire that is over 10 years old in my bar ... I don't know if it's still safe to drink... but I'm thinking of giving it as a gift... is it safe? |

Oh yes! I love gin, any gin lovers should look up the gin festivals, great afternoon/evening!
It should be absolutely fine. I'm lucky if a bottle last 10 days, a number of my friends are also gin enthusiasts!  |

Mmmmm gin - the nectar of the gods (well, along with single malt and rum and real ale and full bodied Italian reds).
Oh and white and rose and, well, almost anything (except lager - bleuurgghhh). |

Wow this is crazy .... no one drinks Gin here except maybe a traditional martini drinker... I never had vermouth in my bar so that's why I never opened it... I just wanted to make sure I didn't poison the person I was giving the Gin too..
On a side note vodka doesn't last a night at my house... Grey Goose, and Ciroc are the most popular over here... |

I'm actually retired from swinging this year... I came over to your forums for 2 reasons... one being I won't meet anyone so I'll stay away from temptation.... two being I get to escape all the political talks that go on in the USA forums..... It gets very redundant talking about Donald Trump and Barack Obama daily |

I am a member of a gin club, and get sent new ones to try every few months. I tried a Negroni last month (yum) and am happy to have a few G&Ts. Unfortunately gin does not like me - the mornings after are much worse than with vodka. |

Fair enough. Maybe you should have that on your profile. So people don't get their hopes up.  |

I have to agree there. I can use the money I've been saving up to visit Manhattan for something else.  |

I'm very surprised Gin is so popular there... what I did notice when in the U.K. Was beer and cider were not expensive in pubs ... but cocktails were like 10-20 pounds each in London and Manchester... So I mostly drank real ale and ciders in pubs but hard liquor in people's homes... |

Haha! I've always loved gin, even when in my early 20s when the only other person I knew that drank it was my nan, with bitter lemon.
At 89 she still has the odd tipple especially when her gin living granddaughter goes to stay |

My sister used to do her own sloe gin. For those that don`t know, sloes are the purple/black skinned berry from the blackthorn bush/tree. I don`t know how she did it but I think there`s sugar and sloes added to the gin. It comes out red and quite sweet or at least hers did! I think the alcohol level is increased too! You can buy sloe gin but it`s nowhere as good as home made stuff! |

I make my own too, as well as bramble liqueur. The alcohol content is reduced - usually to about 20%, because of the juice in the fruit. But if you mix it with some fizz it makes a lovely drink. |

Gin/Bramble Liqueur/a few frozen berries/some nice tonic/ice
One of my favourite summer drinks. |

I have to say that for 16 quid, Lidl's Hortus gin is bloody good.
Especially for cocktails and the like. Miles better than a Gordons or similar.
My recent favourite was Junipero (an American gin), gorgeous. |

The Oxford and Cheltenham wine co. Do a gin experience in Oxford. You get to taste six or more find and try them with different tonic. It's amazing how the same vin can taste very different depending on the mixer. |

I have indeed referred to this amazing gin in an earlier post RobsRocket. Our wifey is the Mrs Kipling of Rhubarb & Ginger Gin, it is 'exceedingly good'
