My favs* you won't get on your travels but given your apparent taste and where you get it from I would recommend any Tanqueray, London Dry, No 10, Export - Rangpur / Seville if you want fruity gin.
*Silent Pool, Salcombe, St Ives, Whitby.
St Ives is very unique in colour and taste, using kelp as one of the botanicals.
Am I gin snobby? Yes n no. I have a circle of friends where we source different gins and have tasting evenings. Having said that, the best gin ever was on Tenerife a hotel cocktail bar roof 25c with the sun going down over the sea. It was Gordons and Schweppes, with a fresh lime slice, a shed load of ice in a huge balloon glass.
