I tried the hambleton bard dry gin essence last night, very similar to Gordon's when mixed to 750ml, after tasting at 750ml I diluted with some more neutral to make 1 litre, not quite as good but still very drinkable.

Nice to see you here, stick around and share.

A couple of essences from the Prestige range that I recall are Baccara=Bacardi, not bad at all.
and
Cocorum=Malibu, not tried yet.
And Mash is correct,the label artwork usually is all the clue that you need to a commercial brand.

Now, when you have filled the cocktail cabinet,you may try for something a little more raw and time consuming in manufacture.
Or not.
Doesn't matter.
Stay safe.

Robert.

Drew & Lin hi & to our little place on the internet.

Welcome to the forum.

Most of the names are generic or fairly self-explanatory.

Triple Sec is a Cointreau type of liqueur.
Grande Paris is akin to Grande Marnier.
Scotch Heather and Skyebuie are both Drambuie-types.
Reverendine is similar to Benedictine.
Summer Cup is similar to Pimms.
Amaretto is similar to Disaronno,
Italiano is similar to Galliano.

Welcome aboard.

These have been discussed before, I'm not sure if there a definitive guide though. It will make an interesting thread.

Often a good clue is the artwork. It is says what the label cannot.
