	Gin
		Gin and its Lowlands cousin Genever (Jenever in Belgium) are white spirits that are flavored with juniper berries and so-called botanicals (a varied assortment of herbs and spices).
		British gins tend to be high proof (90° or 45% ABV) and citrus-accented from the use of dried lemon and Seville orange peels in the mix of botanicals.
		Gin, on the other hand, did not require any aging, and was relatively easy to make by mixing raw alcohol with juniper berry extract and other flavorings and spices in a large container such as a bathtub (thus the origin of the term "Bathtub Gin").

	Gin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gin is usually made by the re-distillation of white grain spirit with the berries - though sometimes (compound gin) simply by flavouring the spirit with berries (and not re-distilling).
		The dryness of gin results in its being served to most non-connoisseurs only after mixing with sweeter ingredients : tonic water (in a gin and tonic) and vermouth (in a "martini" or "gin and it") are probably the best-known additions.
		A common ready-sweetened form of gin is sloe gin, a liqueur traditionally made by infusing sloes (the fruit of the flthorn) in gin.

		Gin had been known as 'Mother's Milk' from the 1820s but later in the century it became known as 'Mother's Ruin', a description perhaps originating from the earlier 'Blue Ruin' of the prohibition era in the previous century.

	Gin
		Now, here he is, back again with an ultra-premium 80 proof gin, retailing in the $25 to $30 range, which is being marketed as having the fewest botanicals of any gin in America, and creating what Reider believes can be "a badly needed bridge between the vodka and gin categories that has not previously existed".
		And, particularly with the enormous range of ingredients and flavor subtleties in many of these high premium gins, quality is significantly enhanced by the right kind of marriage between the alcohol and the botanicals when it's produced by small-batch distilling.
		People have been marketing gins pretty much traditionally, playing up botanical and herbal characteristics as the main factor of what a gin is. But I was introduced to a Englishman named Christopher Hayman, whose family has been in the gin distilling business in Europe for 200 years.

	Gin rummy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gin, which evolved from 18th-century Whiskey Poker (according to John Scarne), was created with the intention of being faster than standard rummy, but not as spontaneous as knock rummy.
		If the knocking player has not gone gin, and the defending player has an equal or lower deadwood count, he has undercut the knocker, and scores 10 points plus the margin by which his deadwood count was lower.
		If the knocking player has not gone gin and is not undercut, he scores according to the margin by which his deadwood count was lower than that of the defending player.

	Tangle Analysis of Gin Recombination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Gin is a highly specific recombinase that requires for its action the presence of three accessory factors: the protein Fis, an enhancer sequence that contains the binding sites for Fis, and negatively supercoiled DNA substrate.
		Now, in order to better understand Gin's specificity to the (-2,0) synaptic complex and the roles of the accessory factors in recombination, a mutant of Gin that requires neither Fis nor negative supercoiling has been studied (Crisona et al, J Mol Biol 243,3 (1994),pp.437-457).
		I will use the tangle model to prove that mutant Gin must use a variety of different synaptic complexes and that these are all of the form (-n,0) for a positive integer n.

	Wine: Dutch Gin and Genever, on StarChefs
		Both countries eventually turned to a dry version of the spirit (For many years gin was sweetened, and I can only imagine what the hangover must have been like.), but the Dutch never really became interested in mixing their gin, and even today prefer genever chilled and neat (and filled to the brim).
		Nevertheless, its flexibility makes Damrak a great gin to keep in the bar at home: it works well in cocktails, but is still interesting enough to pour in a glass and enjoy neat when you don’t want to bother with mixing.
		This gin is made for enjoying neat; although it retains its character in a martini or with simple mixers like tonic water, it generally loses some of its complexity in cocktails.

		In the UK Gordon's gin is considered the standard, for some reason it isn't considered as well in the US, except possibly by me. I consider it my personal standard of a traditional gin to which I compare other gins.
		While this gin is pleasant it didn't do much for me because it was so light in flavor, more like a vodka wishing it was a gin, and not the real deal.
		After distillation with the botanicals, the gin is then infused with orris/iris root and iris flower which bring in additional notes of floral and spicy flavors and give it a pleasing blue color.

	Amazon.com: Gin: The Much Lamented Death of Madam Geneva: Books: Patrick Dillon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Writing about Gin in the 1700s, Dillon does an excellent job of finding and presenting the sources that reveal both the origins of gin, reasons for its initial growth and popularity, the successive attempts and prohibition and the eventual compromise of restriction but acceptance.
		We can only hope that, like England's Gin Act of 1751 and the repeal of prohibition in the U.S. in 1929, there will be a future day where an armistice is declared and we can take control of the drug trade, and, ultimately, attack the root causes that drive people to abuse substances.
		Patrick Dillon's account of the Gin Craze of the 18th century is an informative, well-written, and lively account of the social problems surrounding the introduction of high-octane spirits into English society.
