Well, because we are retired and all, I've been buying Gilbeys and less expensive gin when I went to the store. I could get the BIG bottle for around $20, so always went with that.
I have been trying to make a Martini that tasted like they did, well, sixty years ago, and I think that time element had something to do with it.
So I splurged and got a much smaller bottle, glass actually, I've been used to plastic, of Beefeaters Gin.
This afternoon, I made a nice gin and tonic, with fresh lime, really good, and could not help but notice how much better it was with the better gin, and I conveyed this to my wife.
I thought my wife would be happy that I had found something I really liked, but, that was not the case. Can't understand it.
