What is the main flavor of gin?

The main flavor of gin comes from juniper berries, which are small, purple-black berries that grow on the juniper tree. Juniper berries give gin its distinctive piney, citrusy, and slightly peppery flavor. In addition to juniper, gin also often contains a variety of botanicals and herbs such as coriander, citrus peel, angelica root, and cinnamon, which contribute to its complex flavor profile. Gin can vary widely in taste depending on the specific botanicals used and the distillation process, but juniper remains the dominant flavor in most gins.
