From its roots in ancient Greek herbal medicine, the popular spirit
we now know as gin was established by the Dutch in the sixteenth
century as a juniper-infused tincture to cure fevers. It gained
notoriety during the London 'gin craze' in the eighteenth century
before enjoying a recent resurgence and a profusion of new
botanical flavourings. Garnished with sumptuous illustrations
depicting the plants that tell the story of this complex and iconic
drink, this enticing book delves into the botany of gin from root
to branch. A diverse assortment of aromatic plants from around the
world have been used in the production of gin over the course of
several centuries. Each combination of botanicals yields a unique
flavour profile that equates to more than the sum of its parts.
Understanding the different types of formulation, and the main
groups of plants used therein, is central to appreciating the
drink's complexities and subtleties. As this book's extraordinary
range of featured ingredients shows, gin is a quintessentially
botanical beverage with a rich history like no other.
