Description
In recent years, gin has shed its old-fashioned image and been reborn as a hot and hip spirit. Now is the time to set out what makes gin special, what its flavours are and how to get the most out of what you buy. Discover how gin is made, what a botanical is and how they affect gin's flavour, and - perhaps most important of all - if there is life beyond the ubiquitous G & T!
This comprehensive guide covers 120 gins from all over the world tested four ways - with tonic water, with lemonade, in a Negroni and in a Martini - and then scored. In addition, each gin is categorized according to an ingenious flavour camp system which highlights its core properties so you know how best to drink it and so get the most from it.
