WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL MY WIFE??!!?!?1!

Gin still gives me the ick from a poisoning event in my late teens; However, my s/o would love this so thank you for posting!
That looks lovely. The SO bought some huge green olives for martinis, so I need to buy a nice bottle of gin. We both like our martinis dirty, so it probably doesn't matter what I buy. I like Bombay Sapphire and she likes Tanqueray. An old bartender friend of mine swears by Boodles. Any suggestions?
Bombay and Tanqueray are traditional gins with the piney note - too piney for this drink in my opinion (and Tanq was my fav for a looong time, then graduated to Boodles and now prefer the less piney gins).
Look for a citrusy gin like Leopold Brothers or at least less piney like Hendricks.
Dirty? Plymoth for me.
Can't go wrong with Tanq 10 for most everything else.
