High Quality
I do not drink but I use this brand of Gin when I make Gin soaked raisins. It has a high Juniper content which when mixed with golden raisins helps the stiffness and pain of arthritis in my hands and ankles. It is amazing how it works. Cheep gin does not work because it only has juniper flavoring and not real Juniper berries. The raisins have to be the golden ones and not the black I think its the sulfur in the raisins, I am not sure but what ever is in the golden raisins mixed with the Juniper is the magic.
