I will let you know about Boe (two omeloutes on the e), though it is a small producer in Scotland. The packaging is quite nice, our classic two pinch bottle ... different for a Gin, and it kinda works ...

If its good Gin, what's wrong with a Martini?

Stir don't shake. Bond had it wrong.
nono Sir

The only Martini...

The Vesper
This martini appeared in the very first novel, Casino Royale. It is Bond's own invention. Here is the recipe:

3 measures of Gordon's Gin

1 measure of vodka

1/2 measure Kina Lillet vermouth

Shake it very well until it's ice cold, pour into a deep champange glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon peel.

Cheers... Is this your foot James????

Ian Fleming had a range of jobs, but I don't think "mixologist" was among them wink
