gin liquor-
The name comes from "genievre," French for juniper.Gin liquor is a flavored white spirit. All gin is flavored with juniper berries, and usually other botanicals, like lemon, coriander, angelica, licorice roots, bitter almonds, and orange peel. Each distiller guards the secret of his own botanicals, since they provide the only characteristic distinguishing one brand from another. Twelfth Century historical records reveal a distillation practiced for medical purposes that may be attributed to Chinese, Persians and Arabs. In 1650, Franciscus Sylvius, Dutch doctor in the city of Leyden, Holland infused juniper berries into distilled spirits in a search for a cure to kidney and stomach disorders and created "jenever" gin liquor. By 1685 the Dutch were exporting more than 10 million gallons a year and by the early 1700's the craze spread to London, England. The English Parliament was highly concerned with the 11 million gallon a year consumption and unsuccessfully enacted laws to stem the flow of gin. Around 1850 the reputation of gin spread to the upper classes and was served in many of the gentlemen?s clubs in London and elsewhere in Great Britain. Much debate takes place today about who really coined the martini cocktail which became a reality in the early 1950's and is considered the premier cocktail of choice for the millennium. buy gin click liquor here
