Gin flavours

Latest comment: 2 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

Under the flavouring section there is a list of additional spices (some of which I have never seen on Gin bottle flavour profiles, e.g. Baobab) but surprisingly cardamom doesn't feature, which arguably is one of the most common spices added to Gin after coriander seed. Should this be featured in the list? 2A00:23C7:AE8A:8001:9854:F4B1:D58A:458E (talk) 20:41, 10 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Do you have any source(s)? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:06, 10 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

From personal experience at liquor stores in the US this user is right. Cardamom is common in Gin. Here are some sources I'll boldly edit the article.

Yes, it's good to be bold, but remember also "no original research"! ;-p

Luckily you also included some objective sources. :-)
