Could you review the traditional gin brands that many people think of when it comes to gin such as Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, and Gordon's London Dry Gin?
Surely the third time to beat Ramsay? Never forget the eating of fermented shark. "You disappoint me, Ramsay," is probably the most gracious victory speech in the history of all time.
James: "This gin embodies every possible dimension of flavour one would hope such an alcoholic delight could provide for even the most captious taste buds." Also James: "Not as good as mine"
Allowing a moment of gushing as a viewer of Top Gear, I must express my admiration for Mr. May's wit and the fact that I can continue to enjoy his quips and personality here on TH-cam for free.
@@MXedits_1 That makes me ridiculously happy for some reason. He's got a childlike joy about him that is so endearing. Gonna re-watch the Isle of Man episode of Toy Stories to celebrate.
The old Richard Paterson method of emptying a glass of alcoholic drink between pours works well when there's no one standing next to you. And the floor isn't carpeted. Very elegantly performed, btw. I have no reason to believe anyone involved with this video would know who Richard Paterson is, but it's how I identify the method.
Doing these in the garage with the bikes and cars in the BG represents JM so well. I know it was Lucy who set it up, so well done on the contextualization 👌🏻
Probably because they've done a video where he tried that Brian Reynolds gin and they figured they would go for something different. They still could have mentioned it though.
Do you also normally give up, get out the stanley knife then open it like you're a seasoned sommelier opening a 67 vintage? Bet you get some action in the morning my son, opening bottles in the bathroom like a boss ;)
James I have watched you for years on TV love your personality & Btw thank you for the driving theory App it’s far better then the others you have helped me alot thank you 🙏
😊 the stig (marco) can teach anyone to drive (make amazing food) .. ... and some folks have a wet day 😅.. and some folks can't drive. Here here to james on cooking 🍳.. um driving 😅
The British came, they conquered this land. We remain loyal to the crown to the sovereign at hand. A bit of fine drink would improve this lad, but nary a bottle of James Gin to be had. Keep working on Canada
"He does driving and stuff, yeah?".... LOL, loving the whole "Not as good as mine..." Subscribed because you said not to mate. Will look for your fine product at my local bottle-o in Australia. Cheers.
One of the main reasons I've purchased as much James Gin as I have is because you know that James likes a drink and that means a good product. I'd trust Gordon with cooking but not with drink so James' reaction isn't too surprising to me.

Which gin should we try next?
ŌBDO gin
Could you review the traditional gin brands that many people think of when it comes to gin such as Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, and Gordon's London Dry Gin?
Could you please try the Aviation gin?
I second aviation gin haha
Sheringham Seaside gin and Empress 1908
'Harold' Potter films. Never change, James.
I'm calling them Harold Potter films from now on.
Same here!
Gerald Can ⛽
How do we know it isnt Henry or Harrison?
It can be not a joke, in the Sandjob James calls himself "Captain Slowly". You know he isn't & Italians calls him different.
"That's the second time I beaten Gordon"
Legend
gordon now fears the name james may
Technically third. Anyone see the video of Gordon spitting his food up while James kept it down.
@@jeepneygang you disappoint me Ramsey
And he's probably accurate as well! James knows how to appreciate the finer things in life.
lol! 😂 that had me spitting my drink out.
Surely the third time to beat Ramsay? Never forget the eating of fermented shark. "You disappoint me, Ramsay," is probably the most gracious victory speech in the history of all time.
Ahh yes, the F word!
Nailed it! One of my favorites from the States
Every time I see a mention of Ramsay, that sentence pops in my head Ever since I watched that video years ago.
"Don't subscribe"
Nobody tells me what not to do. Subscribed.
did the same, fk james, ill do what i want.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUY..
Was going to unsubscribe but now I'm staying subscribed. Take that, May!
Reverse psychology does "not" work
exactly my reaction too heh
One of the most famous motoring journalists in the world about Bottas : “He does driving and stuff”
he's not wrong
who?
Valtteri, it’s James. My gin is better.
This comment is underrated 😂
Valtteri, it’s James. We have to retire your gin. As a finn this thought even hurt my soul.
James, it's Valtteri........😂
Great flaming mullets!! Take my like
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉😂😂😂
This combined May, Gin, reviews and unboxing. Genius L. Brown.
Cheese.
Classic Brown move 👌🏻
@@rsk47reviews59 Cheese infused gin was missing yes.
And the reviews weren't even slightly biased at all either.
Words you never want to hear about your beverage “ slightly shampoo-ee “
"It's not shampoo"
There was this craft ale a mate of mine loved that literally tasted like the way Head and Shoulders smelt. I never understood the fascination.
It's because of the lavender they put it through.
Heh. "Poo."
It’s probably got lavender in it which sadly has a tendency to taste soapy.
"it's the second time I've beaten Gordon", savage
Actually, that's the third time that he has beaten Chef Ramsay.
Was IT with shark
@@MechaTailsMK2 Right, the rotten shark delicacy
There are only two people who've ever managed to assert dominance over Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White and James May
I swear james just makes a new youtube channel whenever he has a new idea for a video...
He keeps forgetting his passwords
James: "This gin embodies every possible dimension of flavour one would hope such an alcoholic delight could provide for even the most captious taste buds."
Also James: "Not as good as mine"
His partner's gin, I believe
Also James: "2"
“I will however keep it” 🤣
....chucks the leftovers on the floor.
James May: "Was she in the Harold Potter films?"
"Does it taste like magic"? James May is hilarious.
No, it's Caroll Hotter.
"Are my bottles this hard to open?"
"Yes!"
Read it in Clarkson's Ford Fiesta Review voice, the one where he drove the Fiesta in a shopping mall
@@CalvinCollectable”He is doing!” 😂
(Reversing the fiesta when the baddy corvette found him)
Classic
This has to be the most James thing ever done.
No lanwmover engines were built while drinking gin, and gin was not even drank properly.
@@djremotion2 Yeah, I'll grant that. And of course there's James' OCD that's missing.
Watch The Reassembler
*tastes Hammond's gin
"Echoes of lithium ion and exploding death... ."
Or James will say: "To American"
These videos are so candid, no fluff needed. James is just an interesting and funny guy
may saying wowzers is the best thing to happen to this world
He does do that from time to time, happened even back in Top Gear several times I believe.
Allowing a moment of gushing as a viewer of Top Gear, I must express my admiration for Mr. May's wit and the fact that I can continue to enjoy his quips and personality here on TH-cam for free.
Oz Clark trying to explain terroir to James way back when is one of my favourite TV moments. Might need to dig out the DVD.
the "Yorkshire Terroir" joke in the "Drink to Britain" series is amazing.
I believe james' equivalent British word for terroir was, cobblers
Perfect, James's old unboxing from the old days, and dissing everyone else's gin except Hugh. Thanks Lucy, oh, and James
James and Gin, what's not to love.
We have ways of making you gin?
Dear Mr. May, would it be possible to do a testing of your gin featuring Oz Clarke?
That’d be amazing! I don’t mean to be rude, but I didn’t know Oz was still alive
@@MarcosCodas He does not look a day older! Can you believe it!?
@@MXedits_1 That makes me ridiculously happy for some reason. He's got a childlike joy about him that is so endearing. Gonna re-watch the Isle of Man episode of Toy Stories to celebrate.
@@MarcosCodas A man of culture, I see.
@@MXedits_1 One tries, friend. One does try.
Jeremy's gin should have this quote written on the bottle : Sometimes my 'gin'ius, is almost frightening! ...
James May fair and unbiased. Your country needs you.
James may the most unbiased person in the whole world
Yea right
You must have been watching a different video to me.
@alexandermilburn3396 @davidhudson5452 It’s a joke.
@@JLeeeP i am aware
"it's a bit like labouring an analogy" is a wonderful phrase :D
Fins love salmiakki, that is definitely the flavouring idea for the finnish gin
Yes, James. Valtteri Bottas does indeed do driving. I got a bottle of your first American release years ago and it was excellent.
5:48 That's actually useful information. Tells me that gin is coriander forward. I hate coriander, it tastes like soap to me. Thank you, Mr. May.
Missed a prime opportunity to call Ramsay's gin "f***ing raw".
That's not in line with James's behaviour.
Or Gordon’s gin, the ultimate gin insult
May gets many style points for that nonchalant tossing of Clarkson's product on the floor at 2:18 (or is that part of some ritual?)
When life gives you lemons, make gin and tonic.
When it brings you James Gin Navy Strength, enjoy the ride.
A garage used by James May has inadvertently burnt down today after a stray spark caught light to a large puddle of gin.
They said Finnish Gin and James finished it.
"You disappoint me again, Ramsay"
10:35
When James says mockingly "Subscribe, Subscribe" look at the Subscribe button on the page.
That's the first time i've ever seen that on TH-cam.
What a living legend. From a shy and mildly amusing motoring journalist having to put up with Clarkson to be a perfect grumpy English gentleman.
Oof...that casual dismissal of Ramsay was brutal!
The old Richard Paterson method of emptying a glass of alcoholic drink between pours works well when there's no one standing next to you. And the floor isn't carpeted. Very elegantly performed, btw. I have no reason to believe anyone involved with this video would know who Richard Paterson is, but it's how I identify the method.
Wait for James to grow a tache and start saying "hello, how are you" to his glass.
You’re a wizard, Harold!
'Its a bit like umm..... a bit like laboring an analogy.' hahaha brilliant!
What does that mean?
@@nandux586enjoyable the first time, but loses its appeal after that.
"Harold Potter" is the most James May-ism I can think of, love it lol
I still think James May needs to come out with a gin called the _"Bloody Awful"_
That was Clarkson's recipe actually
@@FLMKane indeed it was but it was James May that came up with the name, not Clarkson.
Doing these in the garage with the bikes and cars in the BG represents JM so well. I know it was Lucy who set it up, so well done on the contextualization 👌🏻
Oooo! I can't wait for the Clarkson followup! James, get him over for a Gin-off! 🤣🤣
''Of course it smells like gin you blithering idiot'' Clarkson probably.
Loving these James as another said please don't change. You do have your way with words
No Aviation? Missed a trick there to follow up with a reaction video by Reynolds.
Probably because they've done a video where he tried that Brian Reynolds gin and they figured they would go for something different. They still could have mentioned it though.
I tried it. Not good
I love how he just has the box in the way of him pouring and opening the bottles.
World's most interesting boring person, love these videos!!
Watching James open them bottles is like me trying to open a bottle of Listerine.
Do you also normally give up, get out the stanley knife then open it like you're a seasoned sommelier opening a 67 vintage? Bet you get some action in the morning my son, opening bottles in the bathroom like a boss ;)
Oh god I can relate I've had to take a knife to a bottle of listerine many times
James in his "element" - table full of different bottles of gin in garage full of cars and motorbikes. 😊
Thanks James for bringing some joy to being ill, hope you're having a good day!!
Harray Potter? Orkney’s finest Potter?
That’s a boy, Jim.
💪✅😉
"Don't subscribe!" I love it.
Bring back James Mays Mail time!
Gin of May.
Popping Ramsey's gin and hearing a quick burst of expletive noise would be a top advert.
So who would have the nerve to skateboard through Jame's bunker/garage?
Can't have been Hammond, we would have heard the crash.
Though skateboards have traditionally been sans engines...
James I have watched you for years on TV love your personality & Btw thank you for the driving theory App it’s far better then the others you have helped me alot thank you 🙏
"'Hint of hot.' That's not even English." Classic May.
I can personally attest that James Asian Parsnip is AMAZING. I loved it!
" slightly shampoo-ee " :))) i laughed hard there :)))
I liked how that got a slightly better score then the grape one lol XD
This is so great, it puts me to sleep yet I want to keep watching.
After he sniffed Bottas’ gin I expected him to say “It’s just pure ethanol. My car could run on this.”
Really appreciate these thorough, scholarly and completely unbiased reviews. ❤
James bring your gin to Finland! I’m waiting ! 🇫🇮
Best gin I've ever had was called Normindia and it is distilled in a calvados still during it's 'off-season'. It was genuinely amazing.
James: "Don't Subscribe" ---- Next frame: SUBSCRIBE.
”James May opens boxes and bottles with a dull knife” that ought to sort the number of views for you. The rest was equally great. 🥂
Bought a bottle of James Gin from the Royal Oak and I'm so proud to have it on my shelf!
I loved when he said he was going to be impartial lol, great watch
Can we get a behind the scenes video where James discusses the standing knife for roughly 40 minutes?
Never change James May! I really enjoyed this video.
James should really get Oz Clarke involved for these tasting videos
I look forward to the day you and Hammond are having a sit down and will be getting hammered on camera
Sounds like Gordon's Gin is better than Gordon's Gin.
(yep thats only confusing before a few gins)
Not sure. I’ve only had Gordon’s.
@@thegoldendog7991 I've not had Gordon's , but I have had Gordon's.
I'll have a Gordon's & Gordon's 🍻
😊 the stig (marco) can teach anyone to drive (make amazing food) .. ... and some folks have a wet day 😅.. and some folks can't drive. Here here to james on cooking 🍳.. um driving 😅
You're a wizard Harold!
I May not like alcohol but I do like James....Subscribed! :P
His refusal to be needy made me subscribe and like immediately, mabe he is doing it on purpose as a way to get more people to subscribe, very clever.
This is perfect to fall asleep to. Thank you Mr. May.
3:33 You never want to see 'salvaged' on an edible product.
Sampling 5 bottles gin was probably the extent of his day, and he’s bloody well earned that
I subscribed and there's NOTHING you can do about it, James!
My James Gin appears tomorrow. Looking forward to it!
The British came, they conquered this land. We remain loyal to the crown to the sovereign at hand. A bit of fine drink would improve this lad, but nary a bottle of James Gin to be had. Keep working on Canada
You really should examine Long Drink from Finland. Orinally designed for the 1952 olympics, it's a great Gin baseg drink.
Smells like gin.
Well done James 😂😂
Love licorice torpedos are still really popular here in Spain. One of the reasons for living here, will have to try the gin.
Clarkson's was always going to get a 2/10 🤣
second win against the big G.
shots fired
I will subscribe, aha! It's my son's fault I drink Gin. Tally Ho', May!
"He does driving and stuff, yeah?".... LOL, loving the whole "Not as good as mine..."
Subscribed because you said not to mate. Will look for your fine product at my local bottle-o in Australia. Cheers.
I like how James was quite favourable to a few of these and then promptly gave them a 2/10. Tough crowd.
I'm sure he was entirely unbiased!
2:17 this action right here, RIGHT HERE is absolutely representative of why i love James May so much 😂
I’ve noticed a few times now that may has a odd little head twitch , not sure if he’s had this for years and never noticed or if it’s a new thing
He's into you! 😉
One of the main reasons I've purchased as much James Gin as I have is because you know that James likes a drink and that means a good product. I'd trust Gordon with cooking but not with drink so James' reaction isn't too surprising to me.
"Smells like gin" ♡
10:31 That's my lottery numbers sorted for the week... Cheers James
Good luck mate.
