Unmistakably, gin is in. With global growth close to hitting double digits annually, interest in this spirit is unlikely to slow down anytime soon. Almost 30% of Australians are spirit drinkers, and with new and exciting craft gin brands popping up weekly, this comes as no surprise. But there's more to the world's fastest growing spirit than meets the eye. Not to be mistaken for just another on-trend 'booze-in-a-bottle', every gin has its unique point of difference. Whether it's the botanicals included, style of gin produced, or the distilling method used, every gin has a DNA and personality of its own. No longer considered the 'mother's ruin', there's a perfect gin for everyone. The fun is in embarking on your gin adventure and discovering your favourites. This book teaches you everything you need to know for your own gin journey - beginning with gin's crazy, unexpected origins and travelling through the history of time to the here and now. Covering gin styles, botanicals commonly (and not so commonly) used and the finer details on how to drink your gin, this book very simply shares it all. If you're not already on the 'gin bandwagon', there's never been a better time to start than right now. All you need is an easy afternoon with this book in one hand and a gin in the other - before you know it, you'll be your own gin expert with a wealth of knowledge, a bundle of great cocktail ideas and some clear guidance to discovering your favourite tipple. But be warned, there won't be just one... and that's the beauty of gin.
