Hendricks is decent but Millers is the best. The cleanest and crispest out of all of the ones I've tried. It's also the cool thing to drink at the moment so many people order Hendricks because they've been led to believe it's awesome, when in fact there are far better gins. They've done some good marketing, just like Corona did with beer.
G&T with cucumber, aaaaaw yea. Good substitute to the standard lime as it's much sweeter.

Martin Miller's is amazing. Best gin for a G & T, hands down.
For Martinis, I usually use Bluecoat or Plymouth. Both are fantastic. Old Raj is also extremely good, though a little pricey.
If you are spending under $20 on Gin, get New Amsterdam. Under $30, Tanqueray. Once you get in the $30 range it depends on the drink you're making, imo, though obviously a good gin works in many drinks. Hendrick's is definitely a good gin, but for the price there are better ones.
