I think this is one of the best gins I have ever tasted. Smooth and pleasant over the tongue with no harsh bite. It mixes with tonic wonderfully and makes a top shelf martini. Sure, one can belittle this gin (due to the fantastic price and gin snobbery) and I expect some “gin experts”will. So be it. I will continue to enjoy this great product without guilt and challenge the crowd to find a better gin at this price point. My only remorse is that TJ’s in Austin doesn’t sell distilled spirits. :~{

A little bit spicer than Beefeater and not quite as smooth, but almost as good taste and half the price.

I really enjoyed this! Very smooth and slightly floral. I only wish there was a Traders closer to my neighborhood. I would shop there more often for sure.

It’s a bit “peppery,” as my bride said, but I like that against a good tonic with adequate lime. You simply cannot find a better gin at this price. I’ll even go to this for a martini, if I get a hankering for an onion garnish instead of the usual olive. Trader Joe’s is a true life enhancement.

I’ve been a bartender, spirits aficionado, and gin connoisseur for many years. I’ve been a Trader Joe’s customer even longer. I can say with complete and total honesty that THERE IS NO BETTER VALUE (QPR) in Gin today. Period. End of story. Buy this. You will not be disappointed (unless you hate Gin). Strong Juniper, not too sweet, not too much Cinnamon, Similar to Tanqueray at less than half the price. Very smooth with Tonic Water or Picante Clamato etc. for a proper Bloody Mary. Made in the United Kingdom, 43%. This is the kind of deal that made Trader Joe’s a household name. 2 Thumbs Up!

I have been drinking gin for over 40 years. I generally like dry martinis. This gin tastes fresh and clean and makes a great martini. Every time I go to TJs, I buy 2 bottles. Price point aside, I like this as much as the expensive gins!
