Just the facts, ma'am.

What are your favorite gins?

I just picked up a bottle of Bluecoat (750mL for $23), a bottle of Hayman's Old Tom (was thinking about Ransom but I think Hayman's will be more versatile for mixing) and a bottle of Dry Fly. DrinkupNY won't ship to TX, but luckily I have a friend in NY that will forward the package to me :)

I've got Ransom and Dry Fly in my cabinet right now. I also make my own gin sometimes too which I keep in a Mason jar and take sips from.

Just the facts, ma'am.
Old Tom gin, Q Tonic and a few thin slices of kaffir lime is making the most aromatic gin and tonic I've ever tasted. It's amazing.

On the subject of vermouth, I love me a Bamboo. Mix:

1 part sherry
1 part dry vermouth
Dash of bitters
Dash or 2 orange bitters
Candied orange peel

Combine vermouth, bitters and sherry over ice, stir, strain and garnish. This is a really good and seldom drank cocktail.
