A Brief History Of Gin
Did you know that gin actually started out in life as a medicine? It was originally invested by a Dutch scientist who had the idea of using botanicals to cure illness. Formulated using oil from the juniper berry, the distilled spirit was known for its palatable taste and calming effects, and was soon in high demand! More and more distilleries appeared to cope with the demand, and it wasn’t long before gin as we know it today started to appear on the shelves of bars and drinking dens across Europe and beyond.
Today, there are thousands of distilleries around the world, all offering their own take on the popular juniper berry infusion. And it’s not just the traditional gin and tonic that is keeping gin popular. Today you’ll see it added to many household and culinary items, from bubble bath to cakes and chocolate.
