I'm a fan. Found uncle Val's the other day and I like it. Smoother than most.

Back in the stone age I drank Tanquery on the rocks. My GF at the time called it paint thinner. I upgraded to Bombay, and from there I earned a degree in the over indulgence of Bombay Sapphire. Last time I drank Gin was mid-late '80's. Not that there is anything wrong with gin. I can think of worse things to swill. But, having drank enough gin to float a battleship, I'll pass.

Beefeater is pretty good

Brokers sucks - too sweet

Hendricks is good, but for a martini or tonic..it's overpriced & the cucumber is a acquired taste.

Bombay Saphire is nice, but almost too smooth. Bombay Saphire East is out & I need to grab a bottle.

For Martinis, Tanqueray 10 is the hands down winner IMO.

For tonic...still trying to find my favorite.

pretty good info even beyond flavor/aroma profiles, I just happened to c&p the link after checking out whitley neill gin...which I liked.

KPP, if you are unsatisfied with the "normal" tonic waters, have you checked out Q or Fever Tree yet? I like regular tonic water but these are really different, not even similar to what is typical. Very refreshing,they are the real quinine products, low sugar too.

much as I like some of those above, my current fave is Hayman's Old Tom Gin. sweet enough to drink on the rocks! There are really several styles of gin, not just London Dry.
