1. What is gin?

2. Is gin similar to vodka? Or are they different?

3. What are the types of gin?

6. Does gin expire?

Gin is a flavoured alcohol that distils neutral spirits (like vodka) with juniper berries and other herbs/spices.

• Taste: Mainly pine-like (from juniper), plus citrus, spice, or floral notes.

• Ingredients: Often includes coriander, citrus peel, cinnamon, or herbs.

• Strength: Usually 40-47% alcohol (similar to vodka or whiskey).

While both start as neutral spirits, gin must have juniper as the dominant flavour, whereas vodka is meant to be tasteless and odorless.

Includes London Dry (classic, no added sugar), Plymouth (earthier), Old Tom (slightly sweet), and New Western (modern, less juniper-forward).

4. Which gin is the best?

• Best Classic: Tanqueray London Dry Gin – Perfect for martinis and gin & tonics, Beefeater London Dry Gin – Affordable, balanced, and great for mixing.

• Best Premium: The Botanist Islay Dry Gin – Complex, floral, and herbal (made with 22 botanicals), Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin – Rich, aromatic, with berry and spice notes.

• Best for Gin & Tonics: Bombay Sapphire – Light, floral, and easy-drinking, Hendrick’s Gin – Cucumber & rose-infused; refreshing with tonic.

• Best Modern: Roku Japanese Gin – Floral, peppery, with yuzu and green tea notes.

• Best Budget: Gordon’s London Dry Gin – Cheap but reliable for mixed drinks, Broker’s London Dry Gin – Great value, bold traditional flavor.

5. Is gin healthy to drink?

Gin can have some potential health benefits when consumed in moderation.

✔ Low in Calories (~97 calories per 1.5oz shot, no carbs/sugar if plain).
✔ Botanical Compounds (e.g., juniper berries) may have anti-inflammatory and digestive aid properties (though research is limited).
✔ Lower Congeners (vs. dark spirits like whiskey), so may cause milder hangovers.
✔ Might Support Heart Health (some studies link moderate alcohol to improved circulation, but debate exists).

No! Technically, gin does not expire if stored properly. The quality and flavour can degrade over time.

7. How long does gin last?

1. Unopened bottle: Indefinitely (ideally best between 5-10 years for peak flavour.

2. Opened bottle: Between 1-3 years (the slow oxidation changes taste, but is still safe to drink.
