“Beloved, we join hands here to pray for gin. An aridity defiles us. Our innards thirst for the juice of juniper…”

Wallace Thurman, Infants of the Spring BRIEF HISTORY OF GIN

Gin’s fascinating history is a lot less glamorous than today’s smart bars, beautifully served G&Ts and innovative cocktails would suggest.

The origins of gin as we know it date back to 16th century Holland where juniper and grain spirit were combined to produce Genever, with the first commercial brand Bols being produced in 1575. Juniper had been used since the 13th century to treat stomach complaints.

Gin started to become known in England when troops returned from fighting the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The British supported the Protestant Dutch against Catholic Spain and brought back tales of Genever and its warming properties which had given them ‘Dutch Courage’.

The succession of Dutchman William of Orange to the English throne drove the popularity of Genever in England, turning it from being predominantly medicinal to a popular everyday drink.

A Protestant alliance between England and the Netherlands was formed against Catholic France which restricted the supply of , increasing the demand for home produced spirits. To fulfil this demand the Distilling Act of 1690 was passed to encourage the of spirits; this in turn had the effect of lowering prices. At the same time, tax on beer rose dramatically, resulting in only a small difference in price between the two, which encouraged many to try juniper spirit for the first time. Gin became a colloquialism for Genever.

“I exercise strong self control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast...”

The Swedish distillers have won just about every award under the sun, with this small batch gin building on a couple of their most successful and popular releases. To their classic London Dry recipe, they added red rose petals (dialling back the meadowsweet and lingon berries to accommodate this new floral influence) before blending with some of their juniper cask gin for luxurious texture.

Elephant Gin | Germany 45% Produced using the traditional method of one-shot distillation. The gin’s distinct nose first yields a subtle juniper aroma, with an undertone of mountain pine and other herbaceous notes.

Amazonian Gin | Peru 41% A gin made with Amazonian botanicals including sacha inchi, Brazil nuts and tonka beans.

The spirit itself is based around Irish potatoes, which have been used to make poitín for many, many years in Ireland (and it’s enjoying something of resurgence in recent years). The use of potato spirit for The Muff Liquor Company Irish Potato Craft Gin comes founder Laura Bonner, who was inspired by her grandfather, a well-known potato farmer with a penchant for making his own poitín.

FEW Barrel Gin | USA 46.5% This is a stunning American gin, made by FEW Spirits in Illinois, USA. It was aged in oak barrels, and the result of this is an increased level of sweetness, complexity and spice. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking this was a genever. Very interesting.s

Bakewell Gin | England 40% Bakewell Gin is an aromatic craft gin distilled in a small copper pot still at a humble family-run distillery in the peak district. Just six botanicals were infused in this gin in total, with the inevitable cherry and almond and classic notes of juniper supplemented by additions of cardamom, cubeb pepper and hibiscus flowers. When serving, we defy you not to use a cherry to garnish.

Ink Gin | Australia 43% Settling on balanced recipe of 12 botanicals, Ink Gin is placed in a hand-beaten copper pot still at the Husk Plantation Distillery, where it is combined with 100% Australian grain spirit and water from the volcanic rocks of the caldera that originally fell as rain.

A dynamic nose, bustling with grapefruit, followed by a fresh palate of juniper and further citrus, complimented by spicy ginger and coriander.

Sheep’s Eye Gin | England 42% Only fans of Guys and Dolls will understand why a company called The Lickerish Tooth would produce a gin called Sheep’s Eye, but we do rather like this quirky creation. The plague doctors over at the Licker Mill use 10 botanicals including juniper, celery seed, black pepper and thyme, infusing them in spirit before redistilling. For a gin and tonic, they suggest a lime wedge garnish.

One Gin | England 43% The gin itself is made with a mixture of 9 classic gin botanicals, as well as a feature botanical sage. The sage used is locally foraged from the grounds surrounding the distillery, and adds an intriguing savoury edge to the gin, carried by the brilliant mouth feel stemming from the seven-times-filtration method used after distillation.
