Gin Tasting Experience Frequently Asked Questions
What is Juniper?
When it comes to making gin there is one rule that matters above all others – to have gin you must have juniper. Juniper berries contribute a distinctive and prominent aroma. Juniper imparts a refreshing, pine-like scent that is often described as resinous or herbal. It is the juniper aroma that defines gin and sets it apart from other spirits.
Juniper shrubs vary in size and shape, are evergreen and are usually low spreading bush-type plants. The “berries” are actually pinecones. Their size can change a lot based on where they grow and their age.
Most of the world’s juniper for gin comes from Macedonia and Tuscany. However, more producers are starting up in other areas. These include Croatia and Bulgaria in Europe, as well as Vermont and Oregon in the US.
Just like grapes, each crop of juniper is affected differently by the sun, soil and the climatic conditions in which it grows. For the variety of juniper (there are over 40), almost all gin makers use Juniperus communis.
There is no other way to harvest juniper berries than by hand. Harvest time features pickers with large bags. They use sticks to gently beat the bushes. This scene looks like it did in the Middle Ages.
