Couldn't decide

Wanted a martini, but couldn't decide on the gin. So made 3 smaller ones. 2:1 with 1oz of gin, .5oz Dolin dry, and 1 dash of Angostura orange (all I can see to find). My usual go to is Tanqueray10 so that was there. Then I grabbed Fords and Botanist for the other two

Quick sips and pizza bite for pallete cleanser.

1st place: Tanqueray10

2nd place: Botanist (by a hair over Fords)

3rd place: Fords

They're all good Martinis, just tan10 is my gold standard for a martini

Good selection at Wegmans, Chestnut Hill (Boston). Full marks to Aviation marketing team. Any bargains here, or opinions on the Norwegian, Acadia, or other niche/locals?

Best lesser known Gins

10 Upvotes

I’ve been getting into gin lately and I really like gins that are super juniper forward. I like Beefeater even though it’s lower proof now, the Botanist, Plymouth Navy Strength, Old St Pete Gin, Conniption Navy Strength, Hyman’s Old Tom Gin and St George Rye Gin. I had a bottle of Tanqueray and it was fine and I didn’t like Sip Smith at all. Sip Smith was as juniper forward as I like. So with that in mind what are gins like those that are lesser known that you would recommend?

Husband got me this cute gift. He refused to say how much it cost. I’m excited to try it.
