Believe it or not I have never tried Tanqueray 10- I will do so tonight! Other brands that are pretty good are Van Gogh and Citadelle, but not worth the premium price IMHO. Scott, with the amount of vermouth I use, I don't notice a big difference between brands, but there is a subtle difference. I have done side by side comparisons! My go-to is Noilly Prat, but Martini and Rossi is pretty good, too. I am not a fan of Cinzano, but it's not terrible. IMO the most distinct and flavorful is Boissiere, and I sometimes us it to change things up a bit.
