The History of Gin
The history of gin is an interesting one. In short, gin is a flavoured vodka, the only real difference being the taste and aroma of the juniper. It's also the drink that brought us the term 'dutch courage' - due to the fact the British fought alongside the Dutch troops who were already drinking 'genever' prior to the battle. It wasn't until the 18th century that the term 'gin' became popular although the drink itself was popular before this time. It wasn't until the British' time in India that G&T became a 'thing' and propelled gin to the forefront of the alcoholic beverage world. Now it's enjoyed worldwide with hundreds and thousands of popular brands and flavours.

A sign of a fine gin is all in the juniper. They are also a really good reflection of the place they originate. For example lemon myrtle is used in Australia to create that native flavour. The ingredients would differ in the UK and stock other flavours and tastes.
