Fast-forward to the 16th century when the Water of Fruits (juniper-forward Spirit) was in vogue with the Brits and when Genever, another juniper-based potion, was enjoyed in the Netherlands. Officially, they consumed it to alleviate kidney troubles. When William of Orange sat on the British throne, the Water of Fruits took on the Dutch moniker, and the love for juniper doubled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eIn the 18th century, the era of the Sun King and the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Gin Craze arrived. After a couple of law changes, anyone could make their own Gin, and at a point, one in every four houses in London was distilling. Now, that sounds grand and all, but most of them didn't know what they were doing, and Gin was often toxic (flavouring it with turpentine is less than ideal). New laws came, and Gin production became more controlled and less lethal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eOld Tom Gin was conjured in 1813, Aeneas Coffey invented the revolutionary column still, distillers were betting on higher quality and more elegant flavour profiles, while consumers shifted away from syrupy drinks to more refined tipples. Come Fin de siècle, London Dry Gin was the #1 style of Gin for sipping and mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eNow, London Dry Gin doesn't have to be made in London, but there are rules to be followed. The EU law says all Gins must mostly contain juniper, and the ABV should be at least 37.5%. None of that weak stuff, please. To put a Gin in the London Dry category, the base Spirit must be completely neutral with 96% ABV. All flavours must be added during the distillation and can only be natural plants. The only thing you may add is water and a smidge of sugar. So, in other words: London Dry Gins contain only distilled botanicals and have no added flavours once they're distilled. Simple, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eThis themed Tasting Box celebrates the precise art of the London Dry Gin, presenting you with five wildly different expressions. Broken Bones London Dry Gin is incredibly floral (10 carefully selected botanicals), comes from Central Europe, and just can't stop winning awards - even got the title \"Best in Europe\" in 2020! The second delight in the box is One Gin Classic, a bold and savoury gem betting on fresh sage. It won an IWSC Gold Award and is heavenly in a naked Dry Martini. Then there's Dingle Original Gin, a unique, inventive twist on the traditional category. What's unique about it? Well, 2019 World's Best London Dry Gin uses botanicals foraged in the County Kerry, including rowan berry, fuchsia, bog myrtle, hawthorn, and heather give. Beautiful and proudly Irish! No.3 London Dry Gin bases its glorious flavour profile on three fruits (Italian juniper, Spanish orange peels, and grapefruit) and three spices (angelica, Moroccan coriander, and spicy cardamom). Wrap your Gin tasting party with Sipsmith London Dry Gin! Using ten carefully-selected botanicals, they source the finest English Barley and the exceptionally pure water of Lydwell spring. It's just so unbelievably smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmartass Corner:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e1) There are two primary ways to flavour your Gin: You can either add flavours to a distilled Spirit and bottle it or infuse botanicals into the Spirit by distilling them together. Depending on your chosen method, you get a different kind of Gin and a different flavour profile. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e2) Few Gin Distillers Make Their Own Alcohol. Gin usually starts with neutral Spirit: A commodity that distillers buy in bulk. What the distiller does with this commodity in the flavor-infusing process makes each Gin different. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e3) Classifications of Gin: London Dry Gin, Plymouth Gin, Old Tom Gin, Genever or Dutch, New Western or new American or International style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e4) As with many other Spirits, Gin was initially intended to be used as a medicine — to battle malaria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e5) Hardcore Gin lovers say Vodka, lobster, or pomegranate should never precede the word Martini. The original and only real Martini consists of Gin, Vermouth \u0026amp; olives, period! But Churchill went even further; here is his famous Churchill's Martini Recipe: Shake Gin in a cocktail shaker with cracked ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and look at the Vermouth bottle on the other side of the room. Garnish with olive.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e6) Juniper berry is the main ingredient of Gin. They are usually picked wild by European independent workers and sold via distributors to the Gin makers of the world.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e7) There are more than 700 cocktails made with Gin known to man.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e8) A wise man once said, \"A bar without Gin is like an Italian kitchen without pasta.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eWhats in the Box? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eSipsmith London Dry Gin 45ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eNo.3 London Dry Gin 45ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eDingle Original Gin 45ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eOne Gin Classic Gin 45ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eBroken Bones London Dry Gin 45ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cgrammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/grammarly-desktop-integration\u003e\u003cqb-toolbar class=\"qb--mac-os\" id=\"qb-toolbar-container\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cqb-div class=\"qb-toolbar__wrapper\" style=\"left: 1380px; position: fixed !important; top: auto !important; bottom: 12px !important; z-index: auto; opacity: 1 !important; pointer-events: all !important;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"all: initial !important;\"\u003e\u003cqb-div style=\"all: initial !important;\"\u003e\u003c\/qb-div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/qb-div\u003e\u003c\/qb-toolbar\u003e\u003clpop-container data-lpop-os=\"Mac\" spellcheck=\"false\" data-lpop-adapter-name=\"contenteditable\" data-lpop-theme=\"green\" data-lpop-circle-position=\"bottom\" style=\"--lpop-theme-color: #178733; --lpop-theme-color-dark: #0C6124; --lpop-original-caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); --lpop-circle-image: url(chrome-extension:\/\/iidnbdjijdkbmajdffnidomddglmieko\/assets\/images\/toolbox\/lp_icon_qb.svg); --lpop-circle-image-gdocs: url(chrome-extension:\/\/iidnbdjijdkbmajdffnidomddglmieko\/assets\/images\/toolbox\/lp_icon_gdocs_qb.svg); left: 208.109px !important; top: 527px !important; height: 15px !important;\" data-lpop-blinking=\"\"\u003e\u003clpop-circle\u003e\u003c\/lpop-circle\u003e\u003clpop-tooltip popover=\"manual\"\u003e\u003clt-span class=\"lt-lpop__tooltip\"\u003eAI Tools \u003clt-span class=\"lt-lpop__tooltip__hint\"\u003e(ctrl ×2)\u003c\/lt-span\u003e\u003c\/lt-span\u003e\u003c\/lpop-tooltip\u003e\u003c\/lpop-container\u003e","brand":"Spiritly UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081270333821,"sku":"21050","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0468\/8730\/5378\/files\/Tatsing-Set-5-Pack-wit-hLogos.png?v=1776974800","url":"https:\/\/spiritly.com\/products\/the-queens-quintet-tasting-set-no-749","provider":"Spiritly UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
