About Gin
Ultimately, gin is vodka that has been redistilled with botanicals. The one botanical that simply must be there to call it gin is juniper.
Many others are used such as coriander, angelica root, citrus peels, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and countless others.
Most gins contain between 7 to 12 different botanicals, with more complex gins using as many as 47 different ingredients.

Beefeater was one of the original gins produced commercial and remained family owned and operated from 1820 to 2005.

What is Scottish Gin?
