Customer Rating
“I first tried Boodles gin in 1979 as an alternative to Tanquery. while I still enjoy Tanquery , I feel that Boodles is a better gin. I understand that one's gin preference is purely subjective, but I strongly encourage anyone who has not tasted this gin to do so. This is a very smooth gin, perhaps a stealth gin. Take the time to savour its flavor and imbibe carefully. During the fall and winter holiday season, add a splash of cranberry juice cocktail to a G+T. Try it, you'll like it! Skol!”

Description
This London Dry Gin, repackaged and rejuvenated under new ownership in 2013, takes its name from Boodle's gentleman’s club in St. James's, London and is now produced at the Greenalls distillery.
Famous members of Boodle's gentleman’s club included former Prime Minister Winston Churchill and James Bond author Ian Fleming, which of course makes Boodles an obvious choice for a Vesper.
Churchill also enjoyed gin however and Boodles may have been his favourite brand. I read a story the other day of how Winston added so little vermouth to his Gin Martinis that sometimes a mere glance in the direction of France would suffice!
