Before we finished work and embarked on the 4 day Easter weekend we took a traditional trip to the local pub near work for the lunch, you will often find half the company in The 3 Kings, Clerkenwell (or outside if sunny) given half an excuse.
Due to the amount of time we spend in the place we know the landlord quite well and he always looks after us. Today he let us try a couple of gins we haven't tried before, his favourite and a newish variant from Tanqueray.
The first was called Martin Miller's, distilled in the black country in an over 100 year old copper beaten still named Angela and then transported to Iceland to be blended with the purest, softest water on Earth. I can see (or taste) why it is the landlord's favourite, a really clean, easy to drink gin with no bitter taste, a little bit cucumber-y like Hendrick's but without the floral notes.
The second was the Tanqueray Rangpur based on the classic gin but infused with the rare Rangpur lime, as you can imagine it makes the gin limey but really refreshing too. I really liked this one too! You can really tell the difference compared to any old gin, and if they were not all twice the price of Gordan's I would definitely drink these gin's more often!
