Gin
Gin is a
spirit which derives its predominant flavour from
juniper berries (
Juniperus communis). From its earliest origins in the
Middle Ages, gin has evolved over the course of a millennium from a
herbal medicine to an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Gin was developed on the basis of the older
jenever, and became popular in
Great Britain when
William of Orange, leader of the
Dutch Republic, occupied the English and Scottish thrones with his wife Mary. Gin is one of the broadest categories of spirits, represented by products of various origins, styles, and flavour profiles that all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient.
