A Brief History of Gin | Shakespeare Distillery

I've talked a lot about how gin is distilled, but in this video I'd like to go over the long and eventful history of gin, and how terms such as "blind drunk", "mothers ruin", and "dutch courage" came to be. Special thanks to Sam Evans for providing the information, and the Shakespeare Distillery for the illustrations used in this video. #ginhistory #ediblehistory #whatisgin

I absolutely love these videos on the history of spirits, I am a home distiller and a huge fan of history, so I really love your your channel

[@MissBrewbird]

Awesome. Glad you enjoy them! I want to make more of them, they just take a long time to research.

[@adammitchell3462]

Well, I know your not American but there is loads of interesting history connected to all American spirits, from bourbon to moonshine

[@JacobFisher]

I wanna see the video timeline in your editing software for this video! Very interesting history of gin as well

I'll show it to you later.

Miss Brewbird, i was surprised to find gin makers in the UK have to buy 95%ABV spirit from other sources to make their product. could you do a video on a trip to one of these alcohol producers? thanks. A (a Maritimer)

[@MissBrewbird]

Ooh that's a fun video idea. I'm back in Canada now, but I am working on getting some videos made at different breweries and distilleries here.

Methanol (c1) kills the optic nerve when your body metabolises it
The cure for methanol is ethanol (c2) good old alcohol
Interestingly n-propanol (c3) is 4 times more effective at getting you drunk. It’s also 4 times less toxic but it isn’t produced by brewing with yeast (normally). Although it will make you excrete a flock of sparrows through the eye of a needle
Isopropanol on the other hand (hand sanitiser) is twice as toxic as ethanol and metabolises to acetone (nail polish remover), 8 singles (25ml measures) is about the lethal dose.

Please correct me with the 30 years of war ? I though it was 80 year ? i am so confuse

[@MissBrewbird]

Hi! Those two wars are related to each other, and the time periods which they took place overlap. Please see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War
The 80 year war started in in the 16th century, and the 30 year war started in the 17th century, but yeah perhaps it would have been better to say the 80 year war.
