Question about a Vodka brand, line or type? Contact Us Gin From its origin in the Netherlands to its storied history in England, gin remains a staple white spirit that continues to gain sophistication through a variety of botanical additions. Typically a very dry spirit, gin's distinctive flavor primarily comes from juniper berries and a small amount of citrus botanicals. Today's more innovative gins make use of a wide range of botanicals, such as anise, angelica root, cassia bark, cinnamon, coriander, and orris root, to influence and expand the flavor appeal. Located in aisle 12B are the Gins of The Party Source.

Tequila must be produced from a minimum of 51% agave. Tequila is typically categorized based on age. Silver (plata; blanca) is aged for no longer than a few months and is generally clear.
