gin knowledge

Did you know?

Gin kann aus so ziemlich allem hergestellt werden, was sich destillieren lässt. Per Definition ist Gin eine Spirituose mit Wacholdergeschmack, die durch Aromatisieren von trinkbarem Alkohol mit Wacholderbeeren gewonnen wird.

Der Name Gin ist eine verkürzte Form von ...

Genever – «Genever». . Der Begriff leitet sich von dem niederländischen Wort «jeneverbes» für Wacholder ab.

Who invented it? Surprisingly, not the English, but the Dutch. A Dutch doctor invented a juniper schnapps in the 17th century, which he called "Genever". English soldiers brought this liquor to the British Isles. There it was given the simpler name “gin”.
Die größten Gin-Liebhaber…

…leben auf den Philippinen! Dort ist der Gin-Konsum pro Person weltweit am größten. Wer hätte gedacht, dass die Philippinos da die Engländer übertreffen? 
Where does almost all juniper come from? Wild-picked – most juniper used in gin production grows wild
London Dry Gin is not always from London. In fact, the majority of London Dry Gins do not come from London at all, but from other cities. Unlike cognac, scotch or tequila, for example, gin has no legal geographical restrictions as far as production is concerned.
What does the designation London Dry Gin mean? Style of Production - London Dry Gin is not a specific brand or denomination of origin, but a category with specific rules for distillation and ingredients. So a kind of purity law.
Wie lautet der Begriff für die typischen Inhaltsstoffe, die jeden Gin einzigartig machen?

Botanicals – alle Aromen, die Gin beigefügt werden, um sein jeweils individuelles Aroma herzustellen, werden als Botanicals bezeichnet. Hierzu werden beispielsweise Beeren, Rinden, Samen, Früchte, Fruchtschalen, Gewürze, Kräuter und Wurzeln verwendet.
Gin and tonic used to be used as a medicine. Against what did he help? Malaria - Tonic is quinine water and quinine was the only cure for malaria for centuries. However, since quinine is very bitter, people started mixing it - that's how the tonic found its way into the gin. The daily gin and tonic thus became a “gratifying duty” against malaria.
