And still made exactly to the same secret recipe. Nobody else knows it. And it's not hard to understand why. How many people do you know, who really care about what happens to a coriander? Let's face it. A coriander doesn't look like much. Even to another coriander. And maybe that's a big reason why English gin-makers in 1769 neglected this funny looking herb so much. Except Alexander Gordon, a Highland Scot. He had a hunch. And it paid off. He dis- covered that by treat- ing the very best co- 'riander just right, it would give gin a won- derful new taste.
