For some people, gin is just gin, something to splash into a G&T, but in fact, there are dozens of different types of gin out there. These range from the clean juniper-forward flavours of London dry gins to sweet, fruity flavoured gins and even gins that blur the boundaries with whisky as they are aged in oak casks. There’s a wide world of gin to explore.
