A picture take WAY back on gin-night, and one that Andrew suggested I post here. That was the night where we attempted to decide if there was a difference between expensive gin and plastic-bottle-cheep gin through a series of "scientific" tests. Let me offer you some advice: don't attempt to start a double-blind taste-test 3 drinks into the evening. Don't try and evaluate gins by sipping them warm. And for the love of god don't believe the hype, but by all means, buy into it. Our conclusions after one-too-many sips of gin was there is a slight difference between the high-end and the bottom-shelf brands. But I still like Beefeater. Mmmm gin.
