I remember Tanqueray Malacca! Kind of a garlicky peppery gin with a strange butter/cardamom thing going on. I believe it was one of the Tanqueray distillery’s original recipes from 1848 or so. Great with a bleu cheese olive.
This Churchillian attitude about the vermouth (“glance in the general direction of France” etc.) gets kind of tiresome. Ha friggin’ ha. You need vermouth for a proper martini. If you want a pissing contest you can get on with the hyperbole, but the correct vermouth does very interesting things to gin.
