did it equal parts, first time with Haymans Old Tom, don't recommend that one -the additional layer of flavor it adds strangely develops some kind of metallic feeling in the roof of my mouth.

Retried with Tanqueray 47.3% - more balanced, but still...it's like an ultraviolet color for your eyes, you see only the part of it, and the other part - just irritates your vision...hope I make myself clear. :)

In conclusion, I lean towards somewhat taming the gin, will update with results.
