1860 A Treatise on the Manufacture , Imitation, Adulteration and Reduction of Foreign Wines, Brandies, .

GIN.

GrN, or GENEVA, from

Genievre, (Juniper,)

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.
