American gins tend to be more aromatic and fruitier than European gins.
They can be made from different grains, such as rye or wheat, and may use a variety of local herbs and spices to give them a unique flavor. Additionally, American gins are often distilled multiple times for greater purity.
To produce an American gin, the process begins by selecting the different ingredients that will compose it, generally aromatic herbs, spices, and berries. These ingredients are then macerated in distilled grains or other cereals for a certain period to allow them to release their aromas.
The resulting mixture is then distilled several times to extract the flavors and aromas. The gin is then filtered to remove impurities before being bottled or casked for further maturation.
Some American gins may be flavored with additional fruits or spices before being bottled for sale.
