Gin Mill at Ginology Deriving Its Predominant Flavor from Juniper Berries, Gin Has Long Been a Favorite with English Drinkers
The Gin Mill at Ginology Deriving its predominant flavor from juniper berries, gin has long been a favorite with English drinkers. In the latter half of the 18th century, thousands of gin shops opened in England during what became known as the “Gin Craze” era. Termed “Mother’s Ruin,” gin was blamed for high death rates, crime and social degradation. These social ills were epitomized in William Hogarth’s engraving. (shown at left) Parliament enacted legislation to reduce the consumption of gin. With the Gin Act of 1751, the scourge of “take away” and “drink while standing” small gin shops was eliminated. By 1820, gin producers were distilling a safer drink and as a result, new fashionable gin palaces opened. These establishments had spectacular gas-lit interiors and and were called “perfectly dazzling” by Charles Dickens. The Gin Mill at Ris We celebrate gin in all of its glory, stocking a wide range of domestic and international varieties. However you drink your gin our bartenders are here to craft the perfect cocktail for you.

Gin is a spirit which derives its predominant flavor from juniper berries (Juniperus communis). From its earliest beginnings 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. Today, the gin category is one of the most popular and widely distributed range of spirits, and is represented by products of various origins, styles, and flavor profiles that all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient. ! Going back hundreds of years to the late 1500s Gin was used medicinally and thought to cure ailments like colic. Later in the military the Gin & Tonic came about so that soldiers could get their daily dose of quinine which helped to ward off malaria.
