How to Make Gin
Gin is made through a distillation process that involves heating pure neutral spirit with juniper berries and other botanicals, such as herbs, spices, and fruit.
The process flavours the spirit, creating a very strong gin, which is then diluted with water to reach the required alcohol strength. In the UK, gin must be at least 37.5% ABV (alcohol by volume).
Gin does not require maturation time, although oak-aged gins are a specialist category.
