I have tried several different kinds of gin in the past and liked none of them. Some of them were highly regarded and popular but I just did not like them. However my family got us a tour at a local craft distillery that does gin. I was not expecting to like it at all, but it was actually good. So I went in with negative expectations and enjoyed it. It was good stuff. So I know a very small amount about what a local craft distillery does, but I know nothing about the big brands. What does a craft distillery or small scale or local or something do different than the big popular name brands that I can look for in a gin?
All that matters about YOUR booze is that you like it…
So what should you look for in a gin is the one you like.
How should you drink it? Exactly how you like it and no other way, unless you want to try a new way to see if you like that better.
I like Bombay Sapphire mixed with Tonic garnished with lime on ice. I even have a particular tonic that I like. that is my preferred summer time drink.
Agreed. I’m trying to understand what I liked and didn’t like about it because every typical gin I’ve had is gross.
You can also experiment with different mixers and sweetners.
