I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
I like a couple of G&T's every now and then nowadays.
MGE is 40 this year @stonevibe. You have great taste. I've got the app, not had chance to use it yet.
I'm looking forward to trying all these. I just bought my mate a bottle of Roku for his 50th and he'd best return the favour!
I'm not into floral, but don't mind gordans - it's a gin that tastes of gin (ie juniper). It's not fantastic, but decent in a g+t.
I don't like the flavoured gins - I find I can't TASTE the juniper (= not gin) or if I can the juniper just doesn't go with whatever sweeter flavour they've added (=bad gin liqueur).
I love the rhubarb and ginger gin but it doesn't taste like gin at all... So it's really just rhubarb and ginger liqueur to me.
For drinking straight, I love a Scottish one - Caorunn. Crap in a tonic because it's so delicately flavoured but awesome neat over ice with a slice of apple or a cucamelon.
I also have a bottle of silent pool. That's really nice, I'm not sure how much its worth the price over others though. Gin is a fairly easy spirit to do well.
Best cheap one is Greenalls. You'll get a litre for less than 20 quid and it's a great standard gin that tastes right. I think it's cheap because it's cut to 37.5 percent rather than a better 45-50.
With so many comparison web sites out there, how do I choose the best one?
This is true.
Also, don't underestimate a gin and soda! I love them. 50ml gin, 150ml soda water, a few drops of bitters of your choice (grapefruit, orange or rhubarb are good imo) and a garnish of an edible flower or slice of citrus. Yum yum!

Of course these days you’ll be supping it in a gin bar with all your other on-trend hipster mates so they won’t be laughing.
I don’t drink spirits so I’m not likely to become a Gin drinker or visit a trendy bar (if they don’t serve bitter I’m not going in!)
So is it just a passing fad?
I used to serve it to old ladies when I worked a bar...
Beefeater and Grenall’s are both decent at the cheaper end of the scale.
Definitely a fad, but a welcome one - in 2010 when I was at uni I drank gin, vermouths, rums and was often laughed at because it wasn't vodka or cider. I'm hoping it's not a fad though because I like enjoying gin, rum, whisky, bourbon and all manner of other craft drinks.
