INTRODUCTION GIN is a white spirit flavoured with juniper berries and botanicals (an assortment of herbs and spices). Its name is shortened version of “GENEVER” the Dutch word of Juniper.

Gin botanicals

Ingredients for spirits Spirits are made from 4 ingredients : Base ingredient – a sugar or starchy base ingredient, whose sugars can be fermented, as in the process of making beer or wine Yeast – a single- celled organism that converts the sugar from starchy or sweet base ingredients into alcohol. Water – as with brewing , local water is frequently a key factor in the quality and style of the spirit, especially for grain based spirits such as whiskey and vodka. Flavourings – some spirits owe their character to the addition of distinctive flavouring ingredients. These can include herbs, spices, honey, fruits, vegetables etc.

TYPES BASED ON PRODUCTION

POT DISTILLED GIN It represents the earliest style of gin and is traditionally produced by pot distilling a fermented grain mash (malt wine) from barley and or other grains, then redistilling it with flavouring botanicals to extract the aromatic compounds. A double gin can be produced by redistilling the first gin again with more botanicals. Due to the sue of pot stills, the alcohol content of the distillate is relatively low ; around 68% for single distilled gin and 76% for double distilled gin. This type of gin is often aged in tanks or wooden casks, and retain a heavier; malty flavour that gives it a marked resemblance to whisky. Types := Geneva gin Holland gin

Pot still

Column distilled gin It is produced by first distilling high proof neutral spirits from a fermented mash or wash using a refluxing still such as column still. The fermentable base for this spirit may be derived from grains, sugar beets, grapes, potatoes, sugarcane, plain sugar, or any other material of agricultural origin. The highly concentrated spirit is then redistilled with juniper berries and other botanicals in a pot still. Botanicals are suspended in a gin basket positioned within the head of the still, which allows the hot alcoholic vapours to extract flavouring components from the botanical charge. This method yields gin of lighter flavour. Types := DISTILLED GIN LONDON DRY GIN

Column distilled gin

COMPOUND GIN It is made simply flavouring neutral spirits with essence or ‘natural flavouring’ without re-distillation , and is not as highly regarded as distilled gin. Popular botanicals or flavouring agents for gin often include citrus elements, such as lemon and bitter orange peel, as well as a combination of other spices, which may include any of anise, angelica root and seed, orris roots, licorice root, cinnamon, almonds, cubeb, savory, lime peel, grape fruits peel, dragon eye, saffron, baobab, frankincase, coriander, grains of paradise, nutmeg, cassia bark, and others.
