    Gordon's bottles look A LOT different on this side of the pond. I wonder if they taste any different. I don't mind Gordon's myself. Does the job if I plan on having a lot.

    Gordon’s is my go to Gin. Not every Gin has to try to be something special.
    Bombay is over priced and under flavoured.
    My opinion.

    • @yearginclarke
      @yearginclarke 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can definitely respect that. While I don't think Gordon's is anything wildly special, it's a standard gin in the classic sense, and performs very well within that style. It's not really meant to be anything more than that. I like a good bit of tradition in this world of rapid changes where we are developing an increasingly apathetic stance towards our historic roots. Some things aren't meant to be changed. Having said that, my overall favorite London Dry style is good ole Tanqueray.

  • @deadfishparty

    The problem is there’s too many fucking gins out there with all kinds of shit in them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it’s pure marketing(Aviator 😉). These two have been around because it’s one less decision we have to make in life. Don’t get me started on craft beer.

    Gordons pink gin is one of my favorite affordable gins. Gordons standard is alright, but the pink gin with some tonic has that berry / lemon / juniper that just tastes nice and refreshing, especially with some elderflower tonic. I don't usually spend a whole bunch on alcohol so its nice to indulge in more expensive stuff every now and then but you always need a "daily driver".

  • @alistairproductions

    Good choice, Bobby! Cannot get myself past the chemical taste of Bombay, always ruins my drink. Whereas the Gordans, although very boring, is easily enhanced with some pleasant garnishing~. Picking up a bottle of Bombay for my 'collection' soon and it pains me so...

    Gordon’s gin with a Schweppes tonic is a good drink, I think a lot of people think packaging and price make for a better drink.

      I love Schweppes for my tonic. I don't like the other "fancier" types of tonic water we have access to nowadays. The only thing I did like about Fever Tree was the reduced sugar content, if I remember correctly.

  • @fandase1

    Interesting! Loved the video, and oh those camera angles on the bottles in the intro are beautiful. Yes, Bombay Sapphire is rather expensive. It´s usually even more expensive here in Czech Republic. I´m gonna be avoiding Bombay and maybe I´ll taste it when I´m in a pub, so I don´t have to pay for a full bottle. I recently had a taste of the classic Beefeater and it was pretty nice. Way more junipery than the Czech gin I had before. I´d like to ask you, maybe you stated this in one of your older videos, but what at what ratio do you usually mix your g&t? Peace!

    • @nononsensegindrinking5152
      @nononsensegindrinking5152  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      hey Decoy
      Good question. I used to have it quiet weak when I first started, about 6:1. When I’m tasting for the the channel I have it 1:1 but if I’m just enjoying it at home then I usually go about 3:1 or 4:1 👍

    • @fandase1
      @fandase1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@nononsensegindrinking5152 6 to 1? That sounds quite weak, but why not? It´s for the taste, not the alcohol afterall :) . I don´t enjoy the alcohol taste/burning myself, so it might be better for me. But 2.5 to 1 was good. Also, I´d like to see you react to the Czech gin I had. Would it be possible for me to send you a bottle sometime in the future? But if you don´t want to tell a random stranger your address, I completely understand that and it´s fine :D, just an idea I had.

    I really want gin in my life but I just haven't found an absolute love yet. I think I'm looking for something that's heavy in Juniper but not spice. Is that possible or does the Juniper bring the spice? I'm still trying to learn my notes and flavors with spirits; which is funny because I'm pretty well versed with notes when it comes to fragrances.
    Also, I'd be curious about your second and third choice of spirit. On those wild and crazy off nights instead of gin is it tequila? Lol!

    • @MarcoJesusPerez

      @NoNonsenseGinDrinking funny this, five months down the line and I'm the owner of 10+ bottles! Old Tom/barrel aged are my favs but but Irish Gunpowder, Aviation and Mojave (really anything but a London dry) I can enjoy neat. London dry works for a cocktail but I'm a hard pass on gin and tonic.

  • @tombrown1898
    @tombrown1898 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bobby, from what I read on Wikipedia, the Gordon's sold in England is packaged at 37.5 proof, and in the USA, it is 80 proof, and the added 5% alcohol makes all the difference. A couple of days ago, I bought a 1.75 litre bottle of Gordon's for $18.00, and it is delicious. Mind you, I used to buy Gordon's all the time and enjoyed it. Then I started buying Beefeater and such. All excellent gins. But worth the difference? In the case of Beefeater, yes. Tanqueray, Bombay Original Dry? Not so much. Gordon's just has a clean juniper taste and aroma that the others don't.
