From its beginnings as a Dutch medicinal tonic to the spirit that once dominated - and nearly destroyed - 18th-century London during the Gin Craze, readers will explore how cultures across the world shaped gin through distinctive botanicals, evolving production methods, and changing drinking traditions.This is both a spirits history book and a practical guide to understanding flavor.You will trace gin's transformation from early genever to Old Tom, from the rise of London Dry gin to the structured precision of modern distillation. Discover how copper pot stills and column still technology reshaped purity and consistency.
