Gin

Gin is a neutral grain spirit that is redistilled with botanicals, predominantly juniper berries. Since every brand and expression uses a unique combination of flavorings, gins are usually identified by their botanical profile. Besides juniper, common botanicals include angelica, coriander, orris root, orange peels, and licorice.
