No, just giving my opinion on organic gin.

If you think Bombay which is mass-produced is on par with an artisanal gin like Juniper Green (without having the benefit of even tasting it, seeing it produced, or speaking to the people who craft it) seems to me to be pretty narrow argument.

I never compared it to Bombay. I just used them as an example in my argument that we don't really know what ingredients Bombay is made with so we can't say that it's not pure or non-organic. And read my post again - I would definitely try Juniper Green before I make any taste comparison.

C'mon Jab, I thought you Bay Area guys were supposed to be tree huggers..whatz up!
Don't debunk the stereotype..conform to the cyborg collective.

:D Good one! I don't want to get political here but it's sometimes true about many tree huggers - they make buying decisions based on some environmentalist herding mentality instead of on facts and science.

I admit I don't know anything about EU or UK organic standards. But I never claimed they weren't in fact organic - just that I wouldn't base my buying it on the word "organic" on the label.
