Which Country Invented Gin?

Gin is one of Britain's favorites, however, it didn't originate here. It's actually Holland that's credited with inventing gin. Around 1550, a Dutch physician is believed to have created gin as a medicinal spirit using juniper as a key ingredient. Britain first encountered gin while fighting Spain in Holland during the Thirty Years' War. Soldiers supposedly drank gin to calm their nerves before battle, giving rise to the term 'Dutch Courage.'

How Long Can You Keep Gin Once Opened?

Once a bottle of gin is opened, it can be stored for years before going bad, unless it's kept in an unsealed bottle near a heat source or direct sunlight. However, even if tightly resealed, the quality of the gin will gradually change as it reacts with the oxygen in the air. We recommend finishing a bottle of gin within 2 years of opening it.

Can You Store Gin On Its Side?

It is safe to store gin on its side without affecting the quality or flavor. However, if your gin bottle has a natural cork stopper, it's best to store it upright as some corks can break down and impart flavors into the spirit.

Most gins are suitable for vegans as they do not contain any animal products. However, it is important to check the label as some gins may contain honey.
