There was a moment in the early 2010s, where some people would say "Americans really love their coriander!" While the era of coriander dominant Craft Gins seems over, it's still the second most important botanical in gins.

Let's take a deeper look at Coriander!

Built on grain and bottled at 95 proof, Winterville Gin features marigold as the star botanical alongside citrus, cucumber, cardamom, and more. Bright, floral, and spiced, this gin is perfect in a Negroni or Last Word. . 🌼🍸

When we think of protected gin types, Plymouth often comes to mind (even though they dropped their designation back in 2014!).

But did you know there’s a protected style of gin from Lithuania that rarely gets the spotlight?

In 2024, for the first time since we've been observing, users began looking for gins with more juniper than the previous year. 2024 reverses a SEVEN YEAR year-over-year decline.

If you really want to nerd out— stay tuned. This is only a sneak peak of our forthcoming #GinTrends 2025 research report

There are very few legally defined categories in the world of gin. Today we take a look at one, Gin de Mahón— which is represented by only @xoriguergin today.

Honored/humbled to be a head judge at the 2025 ADI International Spirits Competition.

Why do I choose to judge w/ @americandistilling each year? I think there's a valuable range of expertise on each panel, with high levels of integrity and experience.

It breaks my heart to hear someone say "I don't like gin," only to learn that their only experience was in a Gin and Tonic.

Gin isn't just about #GinAndTonic anymore. You do you! Explore these alternatives that are just as easy as G&T!

45th Parallel Artisan Premium Gin

...Subtle sweetness on first sip. Spices make up the heart of this gin, with notes of cinnamon coffee cake, hints of caramel and maple, and a creamy, vanilla-kissed finish.

Flavor: Crisp juniper with a rich herbal impression of herbs de Provence. Hints of savory and in particular oregano make up the mid-palate. Earthier licorice emerges more strongly towards the back of the palate.

#GINisIN on a Global scale. Distillers around the world are featuring botanicals that grow locally to tell unique stories about place and people!

Today we're highlighting a handful of stories from places you might not have known are making gin.

I just want to share the difference between #ChatGPT in Europe and in the states.

Notice that while I'm logged into a VPN in Europe, ChatGPT cites me.

And then notice stateside it spits out the same content with no credit.

Waymar Gin House Signature Gin is complex and evolving. Early spruce buds with vibrant orange zest. Mid-palate, there’s a touch of orange custard w/ hint of vanilla bean lending a marzipan and almond like sweetness.

In Gin we talk so much about flavor and botanical, and so rarely talk about what we're actually smelling and tasting.

Today let's introduce three of the most common terpenes found in gin, and identify a couple botanicals that contribute these terpenes.

Jammy, with some robust sweet rose hips suggesting currants and raspberry. Behind that, camphor and lavender step to the fore, backed by a some punchy, almost herbal juniper and coriander.

You'll notice a mix of the old hexagons and new diagrams for awhile.

I have a lot of tasting notes to review before all a majority of gins will have the new updated flavor diagrams. Soon you'll be able to search for fruited, jammy gins.

Hello! The next couple of days represent one of the biggest updates to theginisin.com in years— if you've been following how people talk about gin, you've likely noticed a major shift in language— and a huge shift since we first developed our flavor illustrations back in 2012!
