Gin

Spirit made from wheat or other malted grain, flavored with juniper berries. " In the reign of Henry XIII it was decreed that there should be but one maker of aqua vilce, as whisky and gin were then called, in every borough, under a penalty of six shillings and eight pence, a sum of much more value in those days than it is now. Some idea of the extensive trade done at the present time in this spirit may be gathered from the fact that there are at Schiedam alone upwards of 300 distilleries, or rather manufactories, of malt wine, which is the basis of prime geneva. Juniper berries are round, of a blackish-purple color, and contain an essential oil which, when obtained separately, is of a greenish-yellow color, and resembles in odor and taste oil of turpentine. It is greatly superior and far more beneficial to the health than the latter, but owing to its greater price oil of turpentine is largely used by the less conscientious distillers.
