Gin Varieties

Enjoying a sweeping revival of modern cocktail culture, gin, also known as Dutch courage, was originally touted as a cure for cowardice and stomach ailments in the 16th century. Perhaps the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles. Gin is a distilled grain alcohol whose main aroma comes from juniper berries, and the secondary aromas of a dazzling variety of spices, herbs, fruits and plants. Produced and consumed worldwide, it is most often mixed with cocktails like Martini, or simply added to tonic water.
