Gin Distilling in the UK

What sets UK gin apart from other varieties?

UK gin is renowned for its quality, craftsmanship, and rich heritage. Distilled from a base of neutral grain spirit and infused with botanicals, UK gin boasts a diverse range of flavor profiles, from traditional London dry gin to contemporary artisanal varieties. The UK's gin distilling tradition dates back centuries, with distillers embracing both time-honored techniques and innovative approaches to create distinctive and memorable spirits.

What are some key botanicals used in UK gin distilling?

Juniper berries are the cornerstone botanical in gin distilling, providing the signature piney flavor that defines the spirit. In addition to juniper, UK gin often incorporates botanicals such as coriander, angelica root, citrus peel, and botanicals unique to each distiller's recipe. These botanicals are carefully selected and balanced to create a harmonious blend of flavors that captivates the palate.
