3.0 out of 5 starsFine, but not much new.
By Derrick C. Mancini on October 31, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
There are a lot of new gin books out there. This is another one. Fine if you haven't read the others, but does not bring much new to the table. Coverage of craft gin is weak, a very prejudicial small sample of an exploding category. Little analysis of what is happening now with craft gins, except at a gloss over level.

5.0 out of 5 starsMother's Ruin 101
By Roochak on January 18, 2016
Format: Hardcover
Nobody drinks gin neat, but how do you know which gin will make the difference between a sensational Martini and a boring one? Dave Broom samples 120 gins, most of them dry, and tries each of them in a gin & tonic, a Negroni, a dry Martini, and with Fever-Tree brand Sicilian Lemonade. He makes the most of his one-bottle-per-page entries: there's a list of botanicals, the alcohol content (usually higher in the US than in the UK), the gin's "flavor camp" (juniper, citric, spicy, floral), and Broom's grades on the taste of each cocktail on a scale of X to 5.

The last part of the taste test section considers Old Toms, genevers, barrel-aged, and fruit-flavored gins, and these are mixed in a different set of cocktails: the gin fizz, the Martinez, and the "gin cocktail" (a gin Old-Fashioned). The book is rounded out with essays on the spirit's history and production, and with over thirty cocktail recipes, including the Big Five: the Martini, the Negroni, the John (or Tom) Collins, the Ramos Gin Fizz, and the Singapore Sling. Curiously, the Gibson (1:1 gin and dry vermouth, with onions) isn't once mentioned.

Broom's a good critic, and I find his writing engaging ("When you drink a Martini, you inevitably become a bore because you are the only person who knows how to make it correctly"). I learned a few things about nosing and tasting gins from this book; it was time well spent.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood starting point
By 808 Pineapple on January 25, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Lovely companion to Whisky the Manual. It provides a good starting point for exploring gin and its combinations. I would like to see it progress into testing/tasting widely available gins with the various widely available mixers (how does Tanquery taste with Scweppes vs Canada Dry vs Seagrams tonic water?).

5.0 out of 5 starsFun and Informative
By sowljazz on June 27, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Don't need to agree with all of Broom's tasting notes to make the definitive judgement that this a worthwhile and enjoyable addition to the intelligent drinking man's library. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting him, drinks are on me!
