Recommendation please for the worse/cheapest gin out there

[JamesW]

I saw my delightful brother-in-law last night - to be informed by him that " You'd better do a better job this year, as the last two Christmas Presents you bought us where f**cking s**t"

Given that the last two presents were two decent, quite expensive bottles of gin - I've decided to stick with the programme, and would like recommendations for the cheapest/worse/worse looking bottles of gin available in the UK today.

Even the likes of Tesco/Asda try and make their gin bottles look classy - but I literally want to scrape the bottle of the barrel this year, and outdo myself.

Thanks in advance for the recommendations

Do tesco still do the value gin? As labels go, that surely can’t be beat.

Otherwise gin is just flavoured raw alcohol. Find the cheapest vodka you can find and get creative with your spice rack and printer.

He sounds like a bit of a pri….

Maybe go one further and just give him an empty bottle and a job to do 😂

Buy him just the tonic to go with his choice of preferred gin.

I’d probably say those plastic bottles of the yellow labelled Gordon’s London Dry Gin. You’re not going to the canaries before Xmas are you? They have them lined on the shelves in the newsagents there.

Failing that, go to the nearest ropey no-name offy/bargain booze and see what’s on the bottom shelf.

Gordon's 0% 'gin'.

Tastes like Elastoplast.

Try your local Chinese/Taiwanese supermarket for the cheapest Kaoliang they have, whichever one they actively don't recommend. That'll learn him.

Any old booze and a special bottle?

I once had a bottle of “Gilt” gin, a lot of years ago. I thought it was rank back then.

Did a quick search & found it in on master of malt.
Reviews are few & varied but this one might describe my thinking


One star
“Sorry everyone, in our blind gin tastings we use this one as the extreme and weird gin. This is almost universally hated by all my friends - I only know one person that likes it. Personal taste I guess, but this is a marmite gin

I love that stuff I pretty much like gin to taste primarily of juniper not perfume. He might be the same.

I fear OP is in a no win situation. Someone who displays such an aggressive display of ingratitude isn't going to 'get' whatever he has in store as a comeback.

I'd leave the playground to the children and stop playing games.

Thanks for the help - do like the carafe, but not sure he's worth the expense!

Plastic bottles do sound like a plan. Even better something that looks like a 2nd hand lemonade bottle.

[ZedLeg]

Don’t buy him anything.

Know any Polish, as I understand they play a large role in the several fold increase in shine related hospital admissions.

Oh, and a dildo too, then if he doesn't like it he can go .... .......

If not you could easily enough print your own Tesco value label to stick on it. You can download PDF's of Tesco Value Valentines/Birthday/Christmas cards t use as a template.

A new South African gin has just dropped and it’s made from botanicals that have been eaten – and excreted – by elephants.

Despite a varied diet, elephants only digest around 50% of their food, which leaves a variety of plant life, including roots, bark, fruit, flowers and seeds, behind for reuse.

To make Indlovu gin, the elephant waste is collected by hand, then dried and washed to remove the excess waste.

Just buy him a bottle of Laphroaig 10 yo.

[ferret50]

How about a Primark or Asda voucher?

Then he can choose his own ste!

Flavoured gins are all the rage… and nothing shows how much you care like a homemade present does!

Fill a Gordon's bottle up with wee.
