Much like vodka, gin is usually wheat or rye based, is distilled in a still and carries looser restrictions on classifications. The major difference between the two is gin's distinguishing profile. Vodka is a neutral spirit where gin was born to stand out. The flavor is derived from juniper berries and a combination of other botanicals, including anise, orange peel, cinnamon, coriander and more. Each gin maker has its own combination of botanicals to create a unique profile. There are several gin classifications based on ingredients and distillation process, and higher quality gins go through multiple distillations for greater complexity.

Because there are so many botanicals available to choose from, no two gins are alike. British, and specifically London, gins tend to be dry and harder whereas German and American gins have a lighter body and lower proof.
