The BevMo liquor store chain here in CA carries the jonge Boomsma gin, cited in the article as one of the most authentic. For what it is worth, I think Anchor Junipero is more in the style of Dutch gins than London Dry. Certainly, I can't imagine wasting it in a mixed drink. Some of my friends from Poland claimed it tasted more like a traditional juniper liquor from their homeland than a gin. Erik

I'm interested if this may have changed after Remy Cointreau sold Société Martiniquaise de Canne à Sucre in 2003. Does anyone know who owns them now? http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/news/pr...is.asp?id=30167 In any case, I recently picked up a bottle of St. James Royal Ambre here in San Francisco and was fairly impressed. It did start a little rough; but, it has an amazing depth of flavor. Erik

London Dry Gin of some sort for mixed drinks. Plymouth is fantastic in a Monkey Gland (especially the Benedictine variation). I agree Tanquerey makes a great GNT. My favorite gin is Anchor's Junipero; but, I just keep it in the freezer and usually drink it straight, though it does make a fine martini. Lately, I've been interested in traditional Genever gins and want to try Boomsa. Erik
