Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Beefeater is my go to in general.
  • I used to make them in the US with Beefeater
  • Beefeater,Bombay if I want a cheap drink at a bar.
  • 4:1 Beefeater and Lillet Blanc
  • Beefeater is classic and I always have a bottle.

Cons

  • Parent context: Have you noticed a flavor difference since they dropped the proof to 80? Reply: Yes, 44% was perfect for a Negroni. I’m done buying Beefeater forever, Plymouth is my go to now.
  • I'd include Beefeater, but their jockeying with the ABV has really pissed me off.
  • I've boycotted since they made the decision to dilute without lowering price. I haven't touched it since and I always swore it was the goated gin. I miss that clean flavor but rules are rules!
  • Beefeater has proofed down its product over the last few years. Used to be around 47%. Now 40%.

If I'm making them at home or for friends it's typically Plymouth or Beefeater.
