There was a nobleman in the Netherlands named William Arm III. When the British royal succession dispute occurred, he intermarried with a member of the British royal family and became a British prince, eventually becoming William Arm III. At that time, there was no high-alcohol wine in England, and the only beverage available in England was beer. William Arm III began to introduce brandy from France and whiskey from Scotland. However, due to the small volume of imported goods, the fiscal revenue is not large. William Arm III moved the gin produced in the Netherlands to England for production and encouraged everyone to drink it. Gin began to be drunk in large quantities, and its quality gradually improved, eventually becoming the world's number one liquor.

In the mid-17th century, Silvis, a professor at La Ayton University in the Netherlands, pioneered the traditional method of using barley, rye, and cereals as raw materials, followed by crushing, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, and blending. The method of selecting high-quality alcohol for treatment, adding treated water to dilute it to the required degree, and then adding gin and spices to prepare it is called the synthesis method.

When the wine is steamed, its flavor will be stranded in the wine, or the juniper berries can be soaked in absolutely neutral alcohol, and then refluxed and steamed again after a week to steam the juniper berries in the wine. Sometimes juniper berries can be crushed into small flakes and added to the brewing raw materials for saccharification, fermentation, and distillation to obtain their flavor. Some countries and wineries use other spices to brew gin, such as coriander seeds, cardamom, licorice, orange peel, etc. Later, this kind of gin made from juniper berries soaked in alcohol gradually became accepted as a new drink.
