Gin

What is Gin made from?
Not all gins taste the same, and that’s because they’re made by distilling a base of grain (such as wheat or barley), which is then infused with a selection of fruits (usually juniper berries, raspberries or rhubarb), herbs, spices and botanicals. This is what gives each type of gin its distinctive flavour.

Is Gin gluten-free?
Yes! Even though gin is made by distilling wheat or barley, which both naturally contain gluten, the distillation process means most gins are gluten-free. However, if you have a sensitivity to gluten or celiac disease, you’re best off double checking the gin you’ve got your eye on is gluten free before trying.

Does Gin go off?
If a bottle of gin remains sealed, it can last several years without going bad. However, once opened, gin is at its best when consumed within a year. It won’t go off once it’s opened, but the oxidation process means that after a while it might not taste as great as it once did. Remember to store gin responsibly, away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dry area.
