IS it worth splashing out on expensive gin – or will cheaper versions prove just the tonic?

With a massive range of gins on the market, it can be hard to know what to choose.

Expert Joe Wadsack gives his tipple tips on supermarket gins[/caption]

Booze expert Joe Wadsack taste tests supermarket offerings at both ends of the price scale and tells Giulia Crouch which is best, scoring them out of five for flavour.

Morrisons

Morrisons London Dry Gin smells like a value product[/caption]

London Dry Gin 70cl £11: Smooth and dry with a perfumed, citrus aroma. Smells like a value product. The juniper smells ropey. Soft and light but ordinary.

Score: 2/5

Morrisons Best Gin is spicy and smooth[/caption]

Best Gin 70cl £16: With warm juniper and punchy citrus flavours, this is spicy, smooth and the perfect blend of balanced botanicals. A different class on the nose.

Score: 4/5

M&S

M&S London Dry Gin is light and zesty[/caption]

London Dry Gin 70cl £12: Light and zesty. It smells good, with quality ingredients. Good balance of juniper, I can smell liquorice and taste tangy orange.

Score: 2/5

London Dry Gin (blended for M&S) is worth the extra cash[/caption]

London Dry Gin (blended for M&S) 70cl £15: Original and distinctive, this uses trendy grapefruit. Smells fantastic and is worth shelling out a bit extra.

Score: 4/5

Sainsbury

Sainsbury’s Gin is a warming blend[/caption]

Sainsbury’s Gin 70cl £11: Smooth, full-flavoured and made with selected botanicals to give complex notes of citrus fruit, juniper, spice and coriander. Warming.

Score: 4/5

Sainsbury’s Blackfriars Gin isn’t worth spending the extra fiver on[/caption]

Blackfriars Gin, Taste the Difference 70cl £16: Distilled four times using ten botanicals, but what are they? Save a fiver and go for the cheaper option.

Score: 3/5

Tesco

Tesco Dry London Gin will let the tonic shine[/caption]

Dry London Gin 70cl £11: Classy, simple and stylish. This will make the tonic shine. Good citrus peel, good coriander seed. Clean, sweet, liquorice taste, nice price.

Score: 4/5

Tesco Finest Sloe Gin doesn’t taste the finest[/caption]

Finest Sloe Gin 70cl £17: Infused with whole sloe berries, rich and fruity with hints of cherry and almond. Nice colour but not as good as I hoped. Not the finest anything.

Score: 3/5

Asda

Asda London Dry Gin is simple on the palette[/caption]

London Dry Gin 70cl £10.50: Distinctive nose with a complementary citrus aroma and the rich character of juniper and orange peel. Dead simple on the palette.

Score: 3/5

Asda Extra Special Triple Distilled Premium Gin is easily the best[/caption]

Extra Special Triple Distilled Premium Gin 70cl £16: Seven aromatic botanicals create pure elegance. 41 per cent and orchestral on the nose. Easily the best.

Score: 5/5 (Winner)

Waitrose

Waitrose London Dry Gin is crisp and zesty[/caption]

London Dry Gin, 70cl £12.25: Crisp and zesty with juniper, coriander, angelica, herbs and spices. Good juniper and I smell lime zest. The spirit is a bit rustic though.

Score: 2/5

Waitrose Heston’s Citrus Sherbert Lazy Gin is too pricey[/caption]

Heston’s Citrus Sherbert Lazy Gin 70cl £24.99: Classic dry gin with a lemon sherbet zest. The palate has a lovely texture but it smells synthetic and cheap. Too pricey.

Score: 0/5

Lidl

Lidl Fenton’s Special London Gin smells harsh and alcoholic[/caption]

Finton’s Special London Gin 70cl £9.99: Hmm. Spirit is quite rough. Smells harsh, alcoholic and like an old-school molasses gin. Tastes hot and sinewy.

Score: 2/5

Lidl Hortus London Dry Gin smells almost horseradishy[/caption]

Hortus London Dry Gin 70cl £15.99: Nose has very fine juniper, citrus and roots notes. Almost horseradishy. Palate is tight and clean. Long, clean finish persists.

Score: 4/5

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
