This is all good news for the fervent gin drinker, as lemon plays an integral role in the gin universe. It is one of the most commonly used botanicals, and even when not present in the spirit itself, a wedge of it is more than likely to be seen bobbing around in a G&T or twisted into a Martini. Its usage to the industry extends further than taste as well – citric acid, derived from lemons, can be dissolved into water and is sometimes used to clean copper stills.

Many distillers who use it, do not infuse it overnight even if they are steeping their other botanicals, rather opting to place it in the pot at the last minute. Gins where lavender is noticeable to taste: In the context of gin, almost always (whether defined or not), 99% of gin makers mean coriander seed when they say they use coriander. The location from where it is sourced has a large impact on the overall flavour profile too and many gin makers will spend careful hours researching where they get their crop. Grow in a sunny position, on a well-drained soil; it’s not too fussed about pH so long as you avoid extremes.

Understanding Gin Botanicals - Spirits Beacon

If aroma can form such a large impact on our perception of taste, and that a trace within an individual botanical can vary and alter our impressions of the overall composition – just imagine the endless possibilities when you start interchanging the strain of botanicals or where they came from. Gins where Juniper is noticeable to taste: But it is in 11th century Italy that we first get a glimmer of gin. From the Benedictine monastery in Salerno where they were experimenting with various gin botanicals, adding them to distilled alcohol for medical remedies. As juniper grows all over Italy and was already used as a cure due to its diuretic properties, a proto-gin seems highly likely to have been distilled. We just don’t have absolute proof (pun intended) As a rough guide, trees are usually planted at around 2m intervals but please take into account the final size of the tree and be aware of buildings, services and other plants nearby to ensure that damage cannot occur from the roots and canopy as the tree grows.

Typically, in a gin, the flavour of coriander seed is more discernable towards the end of the flavour journey. If a gin has citrus, these elements will come off upfront while the citrusy nature of coriander seed will present itself thereafter –towards the heart / end of a gin. Gins where Coriander Seed is noticeable to taste: The 1690 Distillery Act had an enormous impact on the home market, as did William’s fondness for gin. The flavour of angelica can sometimes be mistaken for that of juniper berries – though the two are quite separate. This confusion is likely due to the root’s enduring use in gin – angelica is regarded by many as the third major ingredient in the spirit, following juniper and coriander seeds. In fact, “Common Juniper” has one of the largest geographic range of any woody plant in the world. Occurring from Western Alaska throughout Canada and Northern USA, in coastal areas of Greenland, Iceland, throughout Europe and in Northern Asia and Japan. It was once widespread in Europe, except for some low-lying areas around the Mediterranean and it even occurs in small patches of North Africa. It’s amazing to think that juniper occurs at varying elevations and at its southernmost extent it has been recorded at altitudes of up to 3,500 metres. If this was a grape, wine makers would be going crazy over it. Given we all understand that soil, climate and growing conditions all affect grapes and that this has resulted in the term “terroir’ used to define wine regions, styles etc… why should it be so different in juniper bushes and as a result in gin? If you interested in this, an interesting Gin to seek out is Origin as it is available in 6 different varieties, where the juniper is the only thing to change as it has been selected from different terroirs. Prepare the soil to improve drainage and fertility if this isn’t a regular task you carry out. Depending on your current soil and preferred cultivation methods.

Repeat until the entire base is covered. Ensure all LINDOR chocolates are secure and add chocolates in any remaining gaps - the less of the cone on show - the better! Gin-spired by the adorable box of LINDOR chocolates in our December Gin of the Month box, we got into the Christmas spirit here at Craft Gin Club HQ by making this simple, edible (and wonderfully indulgent!) festive table centrepiece. It’s easier to make than you think - (it’s a Christmas craft no-brainer), so you can get your kids or ginny friends involved too. Pink peppercorn is native to South America, where it stills grows in great abundance. The pepper tree has a fondness for the hot, wet climate, though it does its best to proliferate elsewhere, with many species cultivating their way through North America (in fact, the tree is banned in Florida, where it is considered to be an invasive species).

While juniper occurs in patches in England and throughout most of Scotland, it is only really common in the Highlands. Two subspecies can be found in Scotland, of which the erect, shrubby form is most widespread. In the UK, few specimens grow taller than 5 meters but in other countries it has been known to grow up to 10m high. Its second key characteristic in gin is that it doesn’t dissipate (like violet) nor dominate (like lavender) either – allowing it to compliment and soften the heart of a gin as opposed to simply impact the nose or overwhelm all other flavours to taste. Gins where chamomile is noticeable to taste: When distilled in the context of gin – pink grapefruit is quite simply sublime. Typically, it is the peel that is used, however the likes of Tanqueray No. TEN use the entire fruit. The use of cinnamon dates to at least 2700 B.C. It was adopted as a treatment for fever and menstrual problems by Chinese herbalists and was even present in the time of the pharaohs, where it was used as part of the mummification process. Using your knife, cut the circular shape out of the base of your polystyrene cone - you only need to cut between 1 to 2 inches deep to ensure that this will sit securely on top of your gin nozzle. Top tip: it’s better to have marked the circumference slightly smaller than to have it too big, to ensure the cone won’t move around. Adjust, and make bigger, as necessary.
