It's World Gin Day tomorrow. http://www.facebook.com/GinDay
So I had to finish my bottle of No.171 Portobello Road today. All I can say is that it's a good honest drop of gin and makes a damn fine Martini. And at a very reasonable price as well.

Next on the list (and ready for June 9) is a gift bottle of Greenall's Berkeley Square. Looking forward to it.

I guess you don't remember Vic and Bob's Shooting Stars?

This is their high strength 48% version. Both this and their "Copper House" 40% version have deservedly won numerous awards. I find the 48% a bit strong though. You really need to adjust all the measures and dilution in cocktails to suit.
