I think Bombay Sapphire tends to go better with lemon and Tanqueray, Gordon’s, and Beefeater tend to go better with lime. Don’t know if there’s any scientific evidence behind that theory, but it’s been my experience.
My first gin drinking was Gilbey's lemon gin and Fresca, in the 1970s. Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to Beefeater, and I never looked back. I remember my mother drinking Gordon's.
Im a big gin drinker and have been for decades. My opinion: all three are good and really amongst the few gins worth a damn. Beefeater is best for a little kick in a g&t while the other two are too flat for it, but I prefer sapphire for an extra dry martini.
Thanks for the comparison.. I havnt had normal Tanq in a long while but I use the other two and Tanq 10 quite often. I recently found a Leopold's Navy Strength which is very nice.
@AlchemixBar I wasn't a fan at the time, and no, I haven't drank it since! Lol, we were in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I had the worst hangover of my life on bombay! It goes without saying that I've learned to drink in moderation, and as the years went on, I've discovered I'm a tequila and rum kind of guy
@@lostabroad365 I have totally been there, done that. Rum and mezcal have been making more of an appearance as my nightly sippers. Got some videos planned on tequila and rum in the next couple months. What tequilas and rums do you like?
@AlchemixBar I'm going to oaxaca city in 2 days! Which is where mezcal is originally from! I am very excited to try some artesianal mezcals that you otherwise wouldn't find unless you're in mexico! Also, let me just compliment you on your response time. A lot of these youtubers get busy and stop responding to comments. You definitely became one of my top 3 favorites bartenders on UA-cam! Cheers thanks for the great content!!
I was recently gifted a bottle of New Amsterdam Original. I found it heavy on the ethanol, and it set my mouth and chest on fire. Being a London Dry drinker, Beefeater is my go-to, I purchased a bottle of New Amsterdam London Dry. Again, heavy ethanol nose and taste, and heavy on the burn. I am blending the two New Amsterdam products, and mixing with tonic water and lime, just to get to the bottom of these bottles. To each, their own, I guess. Cheers.

I can totally see that.
As a bartender - I concurr. Tastes better.

Beefeater is a workhorse for me at my bar. Haven't had Gordon's in a long time. Maybe we should do a video on it??
First time drinking gin was Bombay straight out the bottle in college. That was a good night. Gin became my favorite spirit after.
NICE!!!!
I have a friend who loves Beefeater so much he got a tattoo of all the botanicals that are in Beefeater.
HAHA, that is awesome.

Totally understand your tastes
Beefeater is the only gin I drink at this point. I also have a weak spot of Gordon’s when the gin is not the feature.
We always have the big bottle around. Not sure if I have tried Gordons yet.
Why r u not drinking tanqueray?
I vote Bombay Sapphire!
Solid pick.
Sapphire and I we have a great and harmonious relationship. Lol, love that stuff!
It really is pretty tasty. Hope you are doing well
The Bombay you chose is much stronger ABV. You should have mentioned that. OG Bombay is better and would have made an apples-to-apples comparison.
You are right. But those are the three we had on hand.

Riley loves gin, so we will look out for that one.
Beefeater with q tonic, a lemon/lime wedge, and mint is perfect
Always a good choice.
You can’t get more than one right if one is wrong.
Agreed, sometimes we did these videos back to back to back. LOL
I wonder if you guys would like The Botanist.
That will be one we try this summer!! 😁
Have you guys tried Beefeater 24?
I have, its good, but not a huge improvement over the regular. For cocktails anyhow. I don't really sip gin much any more.
Not yet. I haven't seen it around but look forward to trying it.
What are you thoughts on Hendrick's Gin?
It's one of our favorites!
Oh we both really like Hendricks. We are going to be doing a Hendricks review in a couple weeks. What do you think?
Bombay was the first gin I ever tried!
Were you a fan at the time? Do you still drink it today?

@@lostabroad365 ohhh that's awesome. Lucky you.
Riley and I would like to go in the next couple years.
You should've washed your glasses or used new glasses for every serve.
We usually do rinse them between serves. Sometimes we forget 🤦
Agree 🙂
You can wash them all you want, but it won’t make the Bombay taste any better. 🥴
What do i mix withPink 47 london dry gin??
We have not had that gin yet. I would start with a a Gimlet and go from there.
Ah drunks
Can’t even pronounce words
Attempting to be connoisseurs without slurs
I say bon appétit
Thanks 👍
Peruvian Pisco
Love that stuff
пздц у вас джин дорогой ребята взял ноль семь за пятнадцать бачинских и в ус не дую
Thanks?
Tanq sucks.
I drink New Amsterdam London dry.
I haven't tried that gin.
