Few if any alcoholic drinks have the dramatic and multi-faceted
history of gin. In this fascinating new instalment of the British
Library's pocket philosophies, gin is explored through its origins
in Holland, where it was popularised by William of Orange; its
roots in medicine; its capacity to provide an albeit destructive
escapism during the Gin Craze; its influence on language -
responsible for the coining of 'dutch courage'; and its current
status as a popular social beverage and a pastime for those keen to
experiment with flavouring their own gins. The Philosophy of Gin
covers the historic transformation of the beverage, ideal flavour
pairings for the gin connoisseur, and how a spirit once given a
wide berth by the middle and upper classes now attracts such a
large proportion of the British public to choose gin as their
tipple of choice.
