Need to polish up on your gin knowledge? Well, The Spirit of Gin: a stirring miscellany of the new gin revival by Matt Teacher has got volumes of info for you. He covers the history of gin, as well as some 1300 gin distilleries from all over the world. There’s also sections on the things that go with gin and why they do: olives, garnishes, bitters and so forth (spoiler alert — they work because it tastes good).
