Genever Gin The history of a gin evolved through various stages. The first was Genever Gin, invented by a Dutch professor of medicine around 1660. It's still enjoyed today for its robust taste, characterized by the pungent flavour of juniper (genievre) berries. Lemon Gin Late in the 17th Century British distillers started using sugar and flavourings to hide the true taste of their rather raw products. London Dry Gin Thanks to Queen Anne, this was a great improvement. In 1792 she encouraged London distillers to create a more refined product. They "double" distilled their spirits and botanical, and created much the same gin we know today. Compare Pickles' and discover the taste that's making gin history. Original India Export Sgt.
