The document provides a detailed history of gin and genever, tracing its origins from medicinal uses in the 12th century through various cultural phases, including its association with social issues in 18th-century England and its eventual rise to popularity in cocktail culture. It outlines significant milestones in gin's development, including the introduction of continuous distillation and the emergence of gin palaces in the 19th century, leading to its acceptance among the British aristocracy. The narrative emphasizes gin's colorful past and adaptability in the evolving landscape of beverage preferences and social change.

Gin and genever perhaps have a more chequered history
than any other spirit: from the earliest medicinal uses
by 12th century Italian monks via ‘Dutch Courage’
and ‘Gin Lane’ to golf club respectability and finally
rebirth as a cool cocktail spirit in the 1990s.
Gin’s history links juniper spirits with every aspect of the
human experience: tragedy, squalor, snobbery and valour.
From its early manifestation in medieval juniper-based plague
cures, it arrived on our shores during the thirty years war,
when British soldiers would drink ‘Dutch Courage’ before going
into battle.
Decades later, it faced the moral outrage of Hogarth’s
‘Gin Lane’ and went on to build a reputation as ‘Mother’s Ruin’,
then became set in its ways as the tipple of choice in the golf
clubs of Middle England before cutting through again in
popularity as the burgeoning bar scene looked for the perfect
base spirit.

Gin’s legacy now seems to be somewhat timeless but this
truly European spirit has an intriguing rags to riches story.
After the experiments of the early Benedictine monks, in the
early 16th century brandy based juniper spirit called
‘schinkenhágen’ was produced in what is now Germany.
It wasn’t until the mid 17th century that a Dutch Professor
of medicine, Franciscus Sylvius de la Boe of Lieden University
pioneered the art of distilling grain spirit with juniper to
create ‘eau-de-vie-de-genievre’, a tonic then believed to cure
kidney problems.
The spirit we know today as gin derived from the juniper
flavoured malt wine spirit born in Holland and was introduced
to us by William of Orange when he took to the throne of
England in 1688. He began to ban imported brandies and
wines from France and, as whiskies were relatively unknown
outside Scotland and Ireland, he began to encourage the
production of genever in its local form made from grain
alcohol that was soon to be corrupted to ‘gin’. Distilling of
English gin then began around various docks throughout the
country such as London, Plymouth, Bristol and Liverpool.
Hogarth’s ‘Gin Lane’

5. 5
In England in the early part of the
18th century, low taxes led to widespread
distilling of cheap grain alcohol, resulting
in many back street distilleries operating
in London slums. Street vendors began
peddling in cheap gin flavoured with
lethal ingredients, with many of London’s
houses becoming ‘gin shops’. This caused
widespread drunkenness and resulted in
a major alcohol problem amongst the
poor where babies were often born with
deformities earning gin the nickname
of ‘Mother’s Ruin’.
From the 1740s a series of gin acts
were passed by Parliament to control
the level of drunkenness by restricting
the production and vending of gin.
(This is one of the reasons why gin
distilleries today cannot produce their
own grain spirit.) These acts gave rise
to a return to beer consumption, and
the rise of the classic British pub.

7. By the 1830s and the introduction of continuous
distillation, the government once again permitted the
free trading of gin by allowing gin distillers to control the
production of grain spirit accompanied by a healthy tax.
This led to the distillers competing with pubs and saw
the birth of opulent establishments known as ‘Gin Palaces’.
Charles Dickens described these palaces as “perfectly dazzling
when contrasted with the darkness and dirt we have just left…”.
Gin quickly became both acceptable and fashionable again
and became known by Cockney Londoners as ‘Mother’s Milk’
or ‘Parliamentary Brandy’.
As gin rose from the gutter to become the sophisticated
tipple of British aristocracy it also became associated, alongside
rum, as a drink of the Royal Navy. Naval Officers often mixed
it with bitters to make ‘Pink Gin’ which was taken to settle
seasickness.

When the Golden Age of Cocktails kicked off in the latter
part of the 19th century, gin and in particular genever
quickly became classic ‘Cocktail’ ingredients. Indeed, gin and
genever is heavily featured in the first ever printed bartenders
guide ‘How to Mix Drinks or The Bon-Vivants Companion, 1862’
written by Jerry ‘Professor’ Thomas. Many gin cocktails listed
within his guides are still prevalent today The Martinez,
The Fancy Gin Cocktail, The Holland House, The Gin Daisy,
The Gin Fix, The Gin Fizz, The Gin Crusta, The Gin Sling,
and The Collins.
Gin as the chosen cocktail ingredient again made its
mark during Prohibition America (1920-1933) when cocktail
culture and gin drinks flourished on both sides of the Atlantic,
spawning many classic recipes still popular today such as
The White Lady, The Clover Club, The French ‘75, and
The Negroni.
Gin and genever have a huge array of complexities in
their style and flavour, making them key ingredients
in creating great drinks.

Bols Genever is a superior and premium ‘old school’
genever, based on the original 1820 Bols Genever recipe
which conquered the world and helped define cocktails
during their first Golden Age in the 19th century.
There can be no better spirit to use to recreate the classic
cocktails of the 19th century: Dutch genever was a mainstay
of cocktail-making in America in the 1860s. In the first book
of bartending, ‘The Bartender’s Guide’, Jerry Thomas specifies
‘Hollands Gin’ for many of his recipes, often offering Old Tom
as an alternative to make a different drink.
It is wise to follow this advice when using Bols Genever
- not a mere gin replacement, but a category in itself which
is a subtle and intriguing cocktail base.

The smooth, subtle, malty flavour of this white spirit comes
from using over 50% malt wine, which is made from long-
fermented, rye, corn and wheat, triple-distilled in copper
pot stills. The use of pot stills provides a surprisingly full
mouth-feel and rich flavour for a white spirit. This malt wine,
the heart of good genever, is then infused with a carefully

30. The resulting liquid, with juniper as its bedrock, is the absolute
embodiment of what a London Dry Gin should be. Put simply,
it is a taste of tradition. Juniper, from Italy, not only gives gin
its name, but also the unmistakable gin taste of pine and
lavender. Sweet Spanish orange peel provides freshness in the
form of clean, crisp citrus. Grapefruit peel gives an extra zingy
lift. Angelica root delivers an earthy quality and helps to make
the gin dry. Moroccan coriander seed releases a lemon flavour
and a spicy, slightly peppery finish. And finally, cardamom
pods add a spicy, aromatic warm bite.
No.3 London Dry Gin is distilled at one of Holland’s
oldest distilleries owned by a family firm which like Berry
Bros. & Rudd, has over 300 years of experience and know-how.
No.3 Gin is the only London Dry Gin that they distil.
