I tried Bombay and judged it not worth the premium price. My favorites are Beefeater's and Tanqueray but to save money I settle on Burnett's at near half the price: I pay $17.99 for a 1.75 Liter Posted Image Before Burnett's (formerly White Satin) I found Gilbey's my cheapy of choice. (I find Gordon's undrinkable except to mix with fruit or tonic.) Hard conversation because May is a teetotal month. Edited by Trotsky, May 4 2017, 08:24 AM.

I calculated the alcohol in all the stuff she drank, which was anything with alcohol, and found in general all booze was priced for the mount of alcohol it contained. Sales hype did the rest. I did find Saki was a bargain regarding alcoholic content. Edited by Durgan, May 4 2017, 12:23 PM.

You forgot to include the calculations for the fortified "bum wines" that run like 18% alcohol and cost very little. (Thinderbird, Wild Irish Rose and the like used to cost $1 a quart back when I was in high school and college. I think they still exist at about $3 a bottle...80% cheaper than the cheapest saki.

Big City Boy Posts: 38,319 Group: Member Member #79 Joined: September 8, 2005	I spotted one I had never tried, called NOLETS. Has anyone had it? A review I read was a little off-putting: Quote: The first thing that gin drinkers notice whether by scent or by taste is that the juniper is muted, almost missing that's a big problem for me. Quote: The floral scent is over the top. You smell rose when you open the bottle. The only comparable in this specific botanical is Hendrick�s. But Hendrick�s doesn�t take it anywhere near to the level that Nolet�s does. There�s notes of Lavender and other sweeter herbal notes. Oh, Yeccchhhh on the rose. I want alcohol and juniper...like Beefeater (but I cannot afford it as my regular gin any more, not at $40 a bottle <1.75L>) (Probably $50 Canadian.) Edited by Trotsky, May 29 2017, 02:37 AM.
