Gin

Gin is a distilled spirit defined by the predominant flavour of juniper berries, with additional botanicals such as citrus peel, coriander, and roots contributing to its profile. It is produced in various styles, including London Dry, distilled gin, and compound gin, each reflecting different production methods and flavour structures. While historically associated with the United Kingdom, gin is now produced globally, with regional interpretations incorporating local botanicals.

Modern gin production often emphasises botanical selection and distillation technique, leading to a wide range of styles. Compared to whisky, gin is typically unaged, resulting in a more direct expression of ingredients. Its versatility and botanical diversity define its place within the broader spirits category.
