Gin recommendations?

I bought some Edinburgh Gin Elderflower liqueur and have been putting a shot of that in with my Bulldog gin. Very tasty but having a few get you pretty drunk.

An update - I'm well over half way through the Sipsmith now and it's very good. It's slightly more bitter than the Blue Bottle and not quite so smooth but it's still very good. I'd recommend it.

I've got these samples to work through once I've finished the Sipsmith and decide what to buy next.

i have had Bathtub Gin and that was very nice though

They make a 48% vol gin….and it is No.1. ranked here.

It’d be rude not to.

Will be interested to see what you think of it.

That's an interesting list, I've had five of them and I agree with the order of those five.

What size bottle was that, I've only seen it in half litre bottles.

I didn't pay for it. Thanks OcUK

Don't remember, I went into a local place call "Secret Bottle Shop", they had a lot of gin i never seen before. This was at eye level next to some Bathtub range.

Really nice with tonic and just a slice of lemon.
