Wife uses it for bloody marys etc. Oh well...
    Yes. Its not dominated by juniper which for my taste makes it better.

    As you know, vodka and gin are the same thing, a clear neutral spirit. Only difference is the botanicals used to flavor the gin. I still have to think that if you feel the need to dilute the gin with something that is almost flavorless, then you don't actually like the gin you're using.

    Returns June 3rd.

    I understand that logic. Beefeater 24 is a newer gin and claims a citrus note...less juniper forward. Sounds perfect for a martini to me.
    Face your fear, accept your war.
