Gin is a distilled spirit that primarily features grain as its base ingredient, such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat, and is characterized by the prominent use of juniper berries along with various botanicals like coriander, angelica root, and citrus peels. Typically distilled in pot stills or column stills, gin may also undergo re-distillation with these botanicals to enhance its flavor profile. Most gins are unaged; however, some styles may be briefly aged in barrels to develop unique characteristics.
The flavor and aroma profile of gin is predominantly piney and herbal due to the juniper berries, often complemented by bright citrus notes from lemon and orange peels as well as floral elements like lavender. With a light to medium body that can range from smooth to crisp depending on the production method, gin serves as a versatile base for classic cocktails such as Gin & Tonic, Martini, Negroni, and Tom Collins. Its diverse styles include London Dry gin from the United Kingdom and Jenever from the Netherlands among others.
