Scotland is responsible for 70% of the gin produced in the UK. By law, Gin cannot be defined as a Gin if it doesn't contain a juniper and the predominant flavour is no juniper. Distilled from wheat, barley, potatoes, or grapes, it must contain at least 37.5% pure alcohol. The unique flavours come from the addition of botanicals (herbs, seeds, flowers, plants, or spices).
