    Origin and history

    Herbal gin, a delightful spirit infused with a variety of botanicals, traces its origins back to the Middle Ages. Initially crafted for medicinal purposes, it was believed to aid in digestion and other ailments. The Dutch refined the distillation process in the 16th century, creating a juniper-based spirit known as genever. As it gained popularity, the British adapted it into what we now recognize as gin. Today, herbal gin is celebrated for its complex flavors, derived from a blend of herbs, spices, and floral elements, making it a favorite among connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike for its aromatic and therapeutic qualities.
