What is Gin Made From & How is it Distilled?
Philadelphia, PA - Gin is traditionally made with neutral grain- or sugar-based spirit as its base, then enhanced with juniper berries to create its characteristic piney-woody flavor. Gin makers can steep botanicals in ethanol before distilling or use aroma baskets in their still to infuse steam with flavors to flavor their alcohol - this method is known as a pot still distillation.
