Europe has a long and fascinating relationship with gin, from the Dutch origins of jenever to the many different styles being made across the continent today.
What makes European gin so interesting is the way each country puts its own stamp on the spirit. Local botanicals, landscapes, traditions and ingredients all find their way into the bottle — from Mediterranean citrus and herbs to Alpine plants, Nordic berries and coastal botanicals.
It's a part of the gin world full of history, experimentation and plenty of stories to uncover. And, as I've discovered many times, there's usually much more to explore than what's in the bottle.
