| Gin was invented in 1650 in the Netherlands. It was originally intended as a remedy for kidney disorders. It was made with neutral grain spirits flavored with oil of juniper, and was called Genever meaning juniper. In addition to juniper, other botanicals including coriander, cassia bark, angelica, orange peel , orris root, cardamon, licorice, and others, are often present. London Dry Gin is the most common type today. English Gins are generally more flavorful and are considered to be superior to American Gins. The driest is Plymouth Gin, made in the English city of the same name. Take advantage of our free Library Card and save up to 10% on gin everyday. It's perfect for anyone in college or the military.
