But I know CATHEAD is still your fav!!!! Hi bro! I go through more than my share of Platinum. I know I've been through bottles of Fris over the years too. Cathead is way better than either of those two, neither of which are suitable for much more than mixing with tonic...which is not a knock, but Cathead is martini quality at a minimum. not to mention Cathead got da Blues goin' for it! |

Starlite vodka from th Treaty Oak distillery in the Texas Hill Country. Heard they got out of the vodka business, which is a shame.
Had it on the rocks. Really interesting flavor. Very, very sweet on the front of the tongue. Almost flat out sugary. I'd love to know how they did that. |

Yesterday
Hendricks G&T, then the central air took a crap and moved family dinner to my Aunt's house. She had Magellan Gin and made a G&T with it and really enjoyed it. Has a refreshingly different taste to it.

Tried Beefeater ages ago but don't remember much about it. try floating a slice of cucumber in the Hendricks. It has that cuke essence and works better than an olive if you are drinking a martini. |

Uncle Val's Botanical Gin
Didn't have Bristow or SipSmith so was either this or Boodles. Had Boodles in my hand and changed my mind last minute. Probably should have stuck with my first instinct as Uncle Val's was ok but has a similar floral note as the Magellan but I preferred the Magellan over this one. |

if you like a sweeter gin, and would even consider drinking it on the rocks, try Haymans Old Tom.
very good straight, very good with tonic, not so good with vermouth/martini sytle. certainly does not go well with an olive.
around $25 here. |

around $25 here. I will look for that one. I am normally a G&T person. I have found I like a variety of gin as long as it stands out in some aspect. |

I really like the Hayman's Old Tom, with tonic too, yet it is very different than say Hendricks for example. |
