Comment on The Botanist Islay Dry Gin by arch miller

I was in vancouver last week and went to a delightful restaurant called west. The gins offered were numerous but two from scotland. I had tasted all but one. The Botanist. I had the barkeep do a martini. It was without a doubt the best gin and martini I have ever had. I live in Oklahoma, but am going to try and get my local store to buy this gin. It is fabulous!!!

Comment on Review: BANK, Brindley Place, Birmingham by Sue Beech

I regularly drink in Bank and am always warmly welcomed warmly by hostesses and bar staff, they always remember my favourite drinks and recommend other cocktails I may enjoy. When I dine there I am always impressed with the food. I like to try a new dish every time I dine and never am I disappointed. The staff work extremely hard and are attentive and thoughtful. Great bar and restaurant.

Have you tried that Adnams gin? Did I see it on the shelf at Waitrose the other day…

Or.. wait.. did I read that wrong or is that just *what you had* in the evening?

Never mind me. I just need new mk1 eye balls, and maybe a side saddle stomach. :p

Call me an underdeveloped child if you want, but I think the list requires more accessible drinks. The Last Word is a sour to be sure, but includes the strong herbal liqueur Chartreuse (that I honestly don’t know what tastes like, it could it is perfect for my tastes – it is not available here like so much else)

Corpse Reviver? A simple gin sour? Something for those of us that enjoy gin and citrus but not Campari and vermouth? Only my opinion. It could be I am in the minority here.

Comment on St George Spirits – Terroir Gin, Botanivore Gin, and Dry Rye Gin by Jeff

I picked up a small bottle of the Terroir and the Botanivore and these are two terrible gins. Terroir has cool marketing but the taste is very weak, there’s nothing to it. It does have a good story and smells nice but it makes a mediocre martini. Botanivore is not a real gin, it’s even more out there than Bombay Sapphire.

I want to like it because Hangar One is a local company and the flavored vodkas are a very good rendition of a spirit I don’t really care for. But definitely I recommend giving these a pass or at the least just getting a 200mL bottle.

Their scorched lemon and vanilla margarita is one of the best drinks I’ve tasted this year. I really hope that they get a real cocktail buzz going in the business district – these drinks are too good not to be drunk!
