Terpenes In Juniper

NYE I was at the bar and my bartender mentioned how juniper berries are a key ingredient in gin, and how the scent and flavor stood out to him. I couldn't help but ask if he had ever heard of #Terpenes. He said he had not. So I schooled him on some #terpeneeducation right there and we looked up the terpene profile in gin together on the spot.

This essential oil contains terpenes (α-pinene, myrcene, limonene, γ-terpinene, linalool, geraniol, borneol) and their proportion varies ...Pinene (alpha-pinene to be more exact) is the most predominant terpene in juniper.

Juniper then lends itself to four main areas of gin recipe flavours, namely herbal / spiced / floral and fruity.

You can study these terpenes with my terpene flashcard, all listed are included.

I'm working on a book that will have sections listing terpenes in culinary herbs and spices, liquor, wine, and beer and coffee too.

Because terpenes influence almost everything we do.
