A history of gin


Print this article
Of the many things I would not, as a young man, have predicted about my life at present, perhaps the most surprising is that I would spend dozens or perhaps hundreds of hours drinking gin in Spanish airports and train stations (I am writing this in Terminal Four of Barajas Airport in Madrid, where the cashier in duty free was kind enough to ask whether I needed —
no, gracias —
the customary sealed bag for my half-pint of Gordon’s). I didn’t start learning Spanish until three years after college, and I didn’t visit the country until I was almost 30. As a young man, I wasn’t scared of flying and had no need for such balsams to get through it. And finally, I used to think gin a repugnant swill old people pretended to like out of feigned sophistication.

At once fascinating, fun and scholarly, ‘Gin’ distills appreciation for an enduring quaff

Some years ago, I discovered Greenall’s gin – on special at Heathrow’s Duty Free shop. It was love at first sip. From then on, a bottle was a prize from every trip abroad. Until last January. At the airport, Greenall’s was everywhere I looked: wild berry gin, blueberry gin, blood orange and fig gin. But of the “classic London Dry Gin handcrafted by England’s oldest gin distillery since 1761” – simple unadulterated Greenall’s – not a drop. Surely, today’s gin craze has gone too far.
