Proper Gin and Tonic

I would rather drink gin than any whiskey. I had a $500 bottle of whiskey I bought 30 years ago. I packed it for 25 years, it was bottled 40 years before I bought it. Finally cracked into it and I didn't enjoy it. I gave some to my father in law and he hated it to.

This was a single malt from Isle, Scotland.

Made vanilla out of it and had some of the most amazing tasting vanilla ever a year later.
 
I like to try various gin brands, but thus far, haven't found any better than Hendrick's. Half a glass of gin, half tonic (any brand) and a slice of grapefruit or orange, and all is right with the world.

@gcbailey - well I “guess” Hendrick’s is Gin? Although at only 80 proof it’s 60% WATER….but people like it so it must taste OK?

It isn't so much the taste, as the slight bite in the back of the throat that I get with Hendrick's.

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
