Gin recommendations?

Latest bottle in my collection, this was a Father's Day present from the kids following my not so subtle hint last week.

I need an inoffensive, suitably decent gin for a mate. Nothing too marmite like Opihr if that makes any sense. £30 maximum, fancy bottles welcome. Any suggestions?

Roku Gin above from Waitrose is lovely.
Brooklyn Gin is on the citrus side but also nice.

Go for the one I recommended earlier - Martin Miller’s. Very fine.
 
Trying Bloom at the minute, still prefer Bombay Sapphire.

Also trying a new mixer drink. Sprite cucumber goes rather well with gin.
 
My small but growing collection:

Crafter's
Nordes
Roku Gin
Pin Gin (thanks to Think Gin Club)
Bloom

Jinzu, Nikka Coffey Gin, Martin Millers, Monkey 47, Elephant Gin, Rock Rose, Botanist and Three Rivers are all on my next buy list :)
 
My collection at the minute is:

Ophir
Copelands Strawberry and Basil
Portobello Road
M and S Oak aged
Junipero
Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin
Caorunn
Beefeater
Martin Miller
A random one from a distillery tour.

Well i say my collection mostly the girlfriends though the oak aged one is very nice. Probably going to get a bottle on Ungava next, just because its a bit different
 
Bought a bottle of Roku Gin.

Just having a glass with fever tree light.

Subtle citrus but I think I need to put more in.

Just a heads up, ALDI have an offer on Columbo No 7 from this Thursday, £20 for a 70cl bottle. It's normally £28 on Amazon (reduced from £32) and also £28 on Whisky Exchange. Good reviews all around so definitely worth a shot at that price.

Picked this up on Friday, very nice but I think I need to up my game from the Aldi tonic I bought to go with it!
 
Just got Gin Mare and Roku gin, tried the Gin Mare, lovely with a sprig of Rosemary, possibly the best gin I have tried yet.

Still need to try the Roku, what goes well with it?

I just like it with a slice of lemon and Fever tree.

Will try it with a slice of lime then as that's all I have. I have Star anise and Juniper berries that I usually add to gin as well but do find they can be over powering.

Apparently Roku recommend a thin slice of ginger, may have to try that.
 
Two bottles have been delivered here in the last week, both unexpected.

The first was a competition prize and the second a gift from my brother in return for a couple of hi-fi separates he's having from me.

I've not tried either of these but both are supposed to be excellent.
