I have not tried either of those, no. I thought Buckley's sounded familiar, but I don't actually think I've seen the bottles very often around here, if ever. It's definitely not at our local grocery.
The other one we get a lot (well, "a lot" modified by how often we need new gin, which isn't that often) is Drumshanbo, which I'm not sure I ever saw stateside. And it's a perfectly adequate gin, but doesn't really stand out, it's just very readily available.
