What These Profiles Represent
Under U.S. distilled-spirits labeling rules, gin is made by distillation, redistillation, or mixing neutral spirits with or over juniper berries and optional aromatics or their extracts. The same rule says gin must derive its main characteristic flavor from juniper and be bottled at not less than 40% ABV; this regulatory context is separate from DUI Professional profile classification.
Britannica describes gin as a juniper-flavored liquor made from purified spirits, with Dutch genever roots and drier British and U.S. styles. Its summary also distinguishes sloe gin as a sweet liqueur rather than true gin, which matters because the active DUI Professional Gin These profiles include one lower-proof sloe gin row retained as a database profile.
The Gin Guild summarizes UK and EU gin, distilled gin, and London gin categories around juniper character, agricultural ethyl alcohol, and a 37.5% minimum strength for those markets. These standards help explain why London dry, distilled gin, contemporary gin, and regional gin labels can coexist in the same professional review profile set without making a product-specific legal conclusion.
The active DUI Professional Gin profile set spans London dry, modern botanical, American, Scottish, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Irish, Dutch, and Canadian profiles. The database average is useful for screening, but For BAC simulation, use the selected drink record, pour volume, and product ABV rather than a subtype-wide average.
