    Quite like Dillon’s, do some really fantastic gin too and they use a lot of local stuff, some interesting specialty stuff too if you’re into that.

    Liked Glen Breton too, but has been some years since I’ve had that.

      God, Dillon’s gin is great. The Unfiltered No 7 especially is one of the best gins I’ve ever tried.

      I also rate Ungava and Georgian Bay quite highly. Georgian Bay is very mild, not a huge amount of flavour, but it’s a good base for a lot of gin based cocktails, like a Tom Collins. Something to give the drink some backbone without being too present. Ungava has a lovely bitterness from the Labrador tea that I find really works in a gin and tonic, especially with a sweeter tonic like Fever Tree.

        No 7 more or less converted my partner, she thought she disliked gin, their rye makes a fantastic old fashion as well.

        I’m going to check out those as well, thanks for the recommendations!
