Hmmm...found a new gin today. Miller's gin, made with Icelandic water
Expensive - it was $27.99 for a 750ml. It's distilled in England, then sent to Iceland to be mixed with the water.

Tasty stuff, but, for the money for a serious high-end gin, I'd go with Hendricks or Magellan. It's almost as fruity/flowery as Hendricks and Magellan, and almost as bity as Magellan. Doesn't quite hold up to either one, at this point.

But then again, I've only had one Martini with this gin, and need to do more research.

Hendricks took me a few tries to get to love and appreciate the fullness of the flavor.

So this gin might very well take a few tries to come to understand just what it is offering.

3. it's always nice to have research assistants!
Though if I'm going to take on helpers, I'm gonna need a grant.
