{"product_id":"ginesis-40219","title":"Ginesis","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Kind of feel like you’ve seen them all by now?\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Then you’re in for a wild ride. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Not all Gin is London Dry\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and Ginesis takes you to an often overlooked yet fascinating corner of the vast Gin universe. Actually, it’s more a universe of its own. Meet\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; craft Gins from all around \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;the world that are NOT London Dry. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;What are they, then? From \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Belgium \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;to \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Japan\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, discover how distillers around the world use different maceration styles and base Spirits to create new \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;mind-blowing and innovative takes on Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;While everybody associates Gin with Britain – no wonder, there are plenty of great British Gins and even the Queen liked a sip – the juniper-based Spirit actually comes from Holland. Back then, it was called \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Jenever \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and it was a certain Dutch chemist by the name of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Dr. Francicus Sylvius \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;who is credited with its invention in the 17th century. In the style of the era, Jenever was first used as \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;medicine \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;to battle malaria. That’s all an old story, though, that you’ve probably already heard a couple of times as a Flaviarista – you want to hear about your journey with some of the less conventional Gins.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Here’s your itinerary: You’ll start in Belgium with\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Filliers Dry Gin 28\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, a small-batch Gin that’s crafted in copper pot stills with 28 botanicals. Next stop: Japan with\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Etsu Japanese Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, made from a secret recipe and water from Taisetsu mountains, green tea leaves, sansho pepper, and yuzu. We’ll hang around the Land of the Rising Sun for a bit more with \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Ukiyo Yuzu \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;that’s based on traditional Shochu and infused with yuzu. Then, it’s time to return to the Old Continent and make a stop in Germany with \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Von Hallers Gin Classic\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, infused with botanicals that a famous scholar planted in his botanical gardens back in 1736. And finally, we just couldn’t resist sending you to Britain anyway, but wait, it’s not what you think: meet \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Cambridge Japanese Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, the first Japanese Gin made outside of Japan. Bam!\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Smartass Corner:\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;1.) The British \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;‘Gin Craze\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;’ was a period of time in the first half of the 18th century when Gin was so cheap, it became a problem – the government had to step in because wasted Londoners were getting robbed and beaten up. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;2.) There are more than\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; 700 cocktails \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;made with Gin known to man.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;3.) There are\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; two main ways to flavor your Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;: You can either add flavors to a distilled Spirit and bottle it, or you can infuse botanicals into the Spirit by distilling them together. Depending on your chosen method, you get a different kind of Gin, and a different flavor profile. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;4.) The \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Philippines \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;consume the most Gin in the world and account for 43% of the world Gin market.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;5.) Gin was distributed as a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;medicine \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;during the plague, but unfortunately, as we knoy, wasn’t very effective against it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;6.)\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Juniper berries \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;are still the main ingredient of Gin and mostly, they’re cultivated in Europe and hand-picked wild.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;7.) There are several \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;classifications of Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;: London Dry Gin, Plymouth Gin, Old Tom Gin, Genever or Dutch, New Western or new American or international style.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132300058806,"sku":"40219","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/ginesis_40219_01_487d0051_5cb9fa70-b412-4ab7-a351-99af2faebea2.jpg?v=1779127993","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/ginesis-40219","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
