Drinking Collingwood a blended Canadian whiskey that's finished by aging in toasted maple barrels. I generally don't like Canadian whiskey but it was cheap and I never heard of it. Also wanted to see if it tasted strongly of maple.

It's better than some other stuff I've had. Not bad, kinda spicy, strong maple aroma. I'm not disappointed But I don't think I'll buy it again, but only because I prefer bourbon and single malt scotch.

Paul Masson Grande Ambre VSOP. 12-14$ a bottle. Not the 8-10$ a bottle Paul Masson, that's crap.

Well (imo) a great place to start is Bombay Sapphire, I find it to be a really good, versatile gin. Goes great in anything id say. Easy to pick up, not too expensive (£20 a bottle)

Another very popular one is Hendricks. Its really heavy on the cucumber though. Plenty of people really do rave about it, im kind of indifferent, if its the only thing on offer then ill take it.

I prefer to stick to the classic cocktails, G and T, Tom Collins or Martini. I dont enjoy modern cocktails full of fruit puree and sickly sweet fruit syrup, because that kills the gin.

Gin really isnt too expensive though. The one i posted cost me £25, and i think its one the best gins available. You can normally afford to experiment a little with gin when you arent having to dish out £40+ like you are with whisky.

Sapphire is really heavy on the juniper, and while I think it's an alright gin, if there's someone who is put off by juniper heavy gins (and many people are), it's not going to change their mind. That's one reason why Hendrick's is so popular, it's one of the easiest to find gins where the dominant aromatic is something other than juniper.

Being one of the first gins I tried, I never really saw it as too big on the juniper. I guess its because that's what I got used to first.

No, they look pretty awesome though. I'm trying to not be an alcohol now. Just finished the last of my Cornelius Applejack a few minutes ago and no more liquor purchases for the rest of 2013. Of course, I still have half a bottle of cachaca, 1/4 bottle of some kirschwasser, and some random Panamanian liquor but after that no more drinking. Drinking liquor I mean. Maybe a little wine.
