GIN.

GrN, or GENEVA, from Genievre, (Juniper,) is a kind of ardent spirits manufactured in Hol– land, therefore called Hollands Gin in this country, being different from the gin manu– factured in Great Britain; and both the Hol– lands and British gin differing entirely from the article generally sold by dealers under the name of gin, or Hollands gin,-the latter being generally nothing but pure spirits, flavored with }uniper, titrpentine, and small quantities of some of the aromatics, etc. Schiedam Hollands has the reputation of be– ing the best gin, and consequently commands the highest price. Rotterdam is likewise a fine article. 10 (109)
