What is gin?

Gin is a spicy and aromatic spirit distilled from neutral alcohol, flavored with juniper berries and botanicals – such as citrus, coriander, lavender, pepper, ginger or flowers. The taste depends on distillation technique, herbs and balance.

Popular types of gin

• London Dry Gin: The classic style – dry, crisp and clean. Perfect for Gin & Tonic or Dry Martini.
• New Western / Contemporary Gin: Juniper in the background, with a focus on flowers, citrus, spices.
• Aged Gin: Aged in wooden barrels – more complex and deeper in flavor.
• Flavored Gin: Flavored with e.g. raspberry, rhubarb, orange – ideal for colorful drinks.

Gin for gin and tonic – how do I choose?

Gin and tonic is a match made in heaven – but it requires balance. Here are a few tips:

• Use a dry gin with neutral tonic for a classic taste
• A citrus or floral-dominated gin goes well with lightly sweet tonic
• Flavorful gins can be combined with dry tonic and garnished with herbs, fruit or spices

Frequently Asked Questions

Should gin be drunk with tonic?

Not necessarily. Good gins can also be enjoyed neat or with ice , especially if they are small batch productions or aged gin.

What is the difference between cheap and expensive gin?

Premium gin is often distilled in smaller quantities , with more precision and using high-quality botanicals , resulting in a deeper, cleaner and more balanced flavour.

Is gin shelf-stable?

Most gins are best enjoyed young. The exception is barrel-aged gins, which can develop – but generally gin is best within 1–3 years of opening.
