A gin style in which botanicals beyond juniper receive conspicuous attention. Citrus, flowers, herbs or spices may lead the first impression. The range is intentionally broad, and a contemporary profile need not be sweet, coloured or weak in flavour.
A deliberately sweet gin-based liqueur in which recognizable gin character remains central. Sweetness rounds the botanicals and changes texture, but should not automatically erase juniper or turn the finish into undifferentiated syrup. The style is broader than one historical recipe.
Gin presented with a deliberate additional named flavor, commonly fruit but potentially another botanical direction. The added flavor can be dominant while gin provides structure underneath. Sweetness, colour and strength vary substantially, so the category needs a conditional matrix.
A high-strength gin whose botanical expression may be concentrated, forceful and persistent. Juniper, citrus and spice can remain vivid after dilution. Higher alcohol is the defining threshold, however, and does not automatically establish greater botanical concentration or better quality.
A gin style often associated with a rounded botanical profile and some sweetness, although ADI also includes botanically sweet or particularly intense examples. Wood treatment is optional. The family should not be reduced to a fixed sugar level or a universal barrel-aged appearance.
A gin organized around a small, deliberately highlighted set of botanicals beyond juniper. The signature may be floral, herbal, citrus-led or spicy. The useful question is whether that leading identity is clear and integrated, not whether every ingredient can be named blind.
