hmmm. will have to clarify this with someone who told me that there was a difference due to the ingredients distilled to make each. I just believed him because he’s a personal trainer. :smack: I don’t even drink that much (2 drinks/week average), but every bit helps I guess!

Damn, I guess I just gotta fact-check every-damn-body…le sigh…
(thanks for the info-reading now! 
)
I have nothing worthwhile to add except: if you’re on Vancouver Island… try this. (Sorry about the Flash on their website; click “spirits”.)
Oh, my, my. $49 Canadian a bottle, and I bought a bottle–real fast. I slid through the people in the tasting room like a shark scenting blood, to grab the last bottle on the shelf, because this stuff is good.

Gin drinker here.
I was a Bombay Sapphire drinker then I discovered Rangpur. I love Rangpur. For an everyday gin, it is the gin of the Gods.
Comparing the price to Hendricks or Anchor Steam, it is worth it. While I won’t argue that they are better gins, they are way more expensive.
Linky no worky - and I’m close enough to BC that I really really want to know what was that good! 
IMHO, Rangpur tastes like it’s gin with ‘Lime flavored product’ in it. I’ve had it, I won’t go out of my way to get it again.
I lurve (in order):
Hendricks
Citadelle
New Amsterdam(*)
And will easily drink Sapphire if it’s the best thing available. Good thing about New Amsterdam is: it’s relatively inexpensive!
If I have tonic (and I frequently do), I’ll have a G&T, otherwise, it’s a martini, stirred, drunken olives, a little brine for me.
I agree on the martini glass…definately a stationary drink. You don’t drink martini’s to mingle.
I guess I’ll have to get rid of my jelly jars.
