Where I live in Bend, Oregon there are tons of western junipers to the east of town in the "high desert". I chatted with a local distiller and apparently they don't use them for their gin, though. They import them from Italy of all places.
- blahyawnblah 7y agoAre western junipers not suited for making gin?

The resulting "gin" smelled amazing but tasted absolutely disgusting. My guess was that there are specific types of juniper berries that should be used.
