The History of Gin
Gin has a long and storied history, dating back to the 17th century in the Netherlands. Originally created as a medicine to treat ailments such as kidney disease and stomach problems, it was not long before gin became a popular recreational drink.
In the 18th century, gin made its way to England, where it quickly became a staple of the country's drinking culture. London Dry Gin, a style of gin that is still popular today, was created during this time.
Today, gin is a beloved spirit enjoyed by people around the world. Its versatility and wide range of flavour profiles make it a popular choice for cocktails, and it has even seen a resurgence in recent years, with the rise of craft gin distilleries and the popularity of classic gin cocktails like the Negroni and the Gin & Tonic.
