When you think of cheap gin, you probably picture hen parties or old men on park benches – but that is not necessarily correct. Conversely, when you think of Amazon Prime Day deals, you probably don't picture stocking up on premium gins – and other spirits – at low, low prices. However, you would also be incorrect there; Amazon has a remarkably large array of gins on offer. Don't just take my word for it. Look here:

Gin used to be known as 'mother's ruin', for obvious reasons. In the cartoons of Hogarth, London was pictured as a kind of gin-addled Hellscape, with feckless, gin-quaffing drunks debasing themselves. Most famously, his 1751 etching 'Gin Lane' depicts a gin-sozzled woman accidentally dropping her baby into the polluted waters of the Thames.
How times change. 'Gin Lane' was in fact Turnmills Street, which is now one of the most expensive and sophisticated areas of London. In similar fashion, gin is now seen as a highly sophisticated drink, to be savoured over ice, with your sophisticated friends. And why not? It's delicious.
Amazon has a huge range of gins, from staples such as Tanqueray to more exotic flavoured gins and even gin liqueurs. They also do tonic.
