Jspec Germany Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Does anybody drink this and can you tell me what a bottle costs there in England? I find it excellent for Martini's, on the rocks, extra dry, spanish queen olives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Drat! I thought surely somebody on this site had seen the stuff. I'll try to get a picture posted soon. I bought a bottle straight away from a bar in Zurich and the bartender claimed the owner gets it direct from England. Great stuff and I want more of it.

Tom S Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 JSPEC, not my type of Gin matey, If your coming over here for JAE, how's about you could bring me a case of Bombay Sapphire (Blue) Gin, the superb imported 47% stuff, a mate has been to Germany recently and brought me a litre back, only cost £9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Drat! I thought surely somebody on this site had seen the stuff. I very much doubt if it exists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Do a search on google and it exists only for sale in none English places !! Plenty of results when you search for the words "Burberry's London Dry Gin", but I cannot find them linked together anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Burberry as in Thomas Burberry?! Unknown if there is any correlation, but the bottle has the same trademark pattern on it. Gordon's is pure sh*te, especially for martini's. The bombay is the bomb-diggety and I bought a bottle here for...wait for it...wait for it... 8 euro! Seagrams has a good clean taste for martini's, especially if you drink them extra dry on the rocks as I do. Darkrider, if you were coming to the SONID meet, I could've brought you a bottle. Bummer, eh? As mentioned previously, the bottle I purchased at the bar in Zurich came from London. I was unable to find it online but will continue to look. If anybody finds a bottle, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Thats a lot at a duty free I think I seen it for around £15 last time in Japan. You must be able to get it in the UK for cheaper surely. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 That's the stuff boys. Yep. It's expensive but I hope cheaper in the UK. Oh, and stop calling me surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No available in the UK Far Eastern market only I think. Contact Nic in Hong Kong he might be able to send you a crate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 F*ck. I lived in Japan for 4 years and never saw the stuff. I can't imagine having to ship it from there either. Risk of breakage and all. I'm sure it can be got in the UK. That's what the bar owner in Zurich told me. That's where he gets it. I like it better than Bombay, especially for Martini's.
