If limited to one distilled spirit I'd pick gin 10 out of 10 times.
Best I've ever had was Tanqueray 10. A good friend who got banned from the Campfire for undisclosed reasons brought a bottle up to my place for 4th of July one year. Damn that was good stuff.
Second fave is Whyte Lady by a distillery in Missoula, MT. It's got a mint finish that is amazing. Even neat it's good. Mint you say? Sounds bad. I know I know. But try it. It's amazing.
Botanist is good. Really good.
Bombay Sapphire is par. Can't go wrong with it, it's my default.
Had a couple gallons of Hendricks last year. That was pretty good too.
I've tried a bunch over the years, and last couple years tried some small distillery attempts. Most of them sucked ass and weren't worth the price, or even close. They get too exotic and fruity with the herbs.
