First, get your minds out of the gutter. Thanks.
I’ve been putting off this review because I just can’t think of enough good things to say about Wet by Beefeater. This is the stuff; it’s similar to Bombay Blue Sapphire, but “ever so much more so.” It’s more flavorful than Bombay Blue (or Tanqueray Ten), but still in the smoother tradition of English gin, rather than the more robust Dutch style.
In other words, in my mind it’s the ultimate balance between smoothness and bite, with the perfect amount of juniper flavoring.
Wet is here just in time to catch the gin craze, and it’s positioned beautifully to do quite well: the bottle is gorgeous (and shows the clarity of the liquor better than a blue or green bottle would), and it gives you that juniper hit without knocking you over. Its slogans range from the semi-respectable “get wet, because anything else is just dry” to “if this won’t get you wet, nothing will.” (I didn’t understand that last one, of course.)
I would drink this gin every day if I could. If I’m ever rich and famous, I might do exactly that.
Get your own though, okay?

Think I’ll pick up a bottle or two…Thanks for the heads-up!
You’re welcome.
That’s disgusting. I’m a dry martini gal from way back.
This is the perfect dry martini!–whether you actually add dry vermouth to the drink or simply wave the vermouth bottle around in the air a bit, as some of us do.
Don’t let the play on words cheat you out of a great gin opportunity!

The combo works. A gin gimlet makes downing an Arby’s ham and cheese more pleasurable. I’m blaming Little Miss Attila…
