Re: We are all Slave now.
I don't like Hendrick's for the same reason I don't like Nolets; One overpowering aroma and flavor. Cukes belong in salad, not gin.
Not a particular fan of Bombay. I bought a bottle of Barr Hill from Vermont, I think, and didn't care for it one way or the other.
I do keep a variety of gins in the Bueller Bar. With the exception of Scotches, with the wide variety of flavors, I often have more bottles of gin than any other spririt. I always have The Botanist. I always have Ransom, although I'm going to try other Old Tom gins because I like Ransom so much. I keep Plymouth on hand, generally, and then rotate through a few that I don't think have been mentioned. Leopold's Navy Strength, and Cadenhead Old Raj, (also the Navy Strength version; blue label, not the red) are currently in the house. The Old Raj is a delicate yellow; predominant botanical is saffron.
Now for the pleibean stuff. I always have a large bottle of Tanqueray on hand. My father kept Beefeaters or Gordons around, and I tend to switch to the Tank when I've been overserved by an unscrupulous bartender, (myself). It is a perfectly serviceable beverage.
