<p class="text-align-justify">In 1777, Edinburg alone had eight certified gin distilleries. A large number of stills that were not licensed were also in operations. The quality of the gin produced was uneven till the early 18th century when Robert Stein changed the manufacturing process from traditional pot stills to a developed process that could manufacture spirit much more quickly and in large quantities.</p>

<p class="text-align-justify">Aeneas Coffey who is an Irish distiller, known for creating the twin column still, improved on Stein's idea afterward. Gin production efficiency improved once more as a result of this</p>

<p class="text-align-justify">This discovery made distilling feasible and distillers in Scotland soon started shipping neutral grain spirit to London, resulting in the introduction of London dry gin in the late 19th century.</p>

<p class="text-align-justify">Gin sales soared until the 1950s when vodka supplanted gin as one of the most popular drinks. As a result, Edinburgh which had previously been the epicenter of the gin business had no more gin distilleries by 1970.<br />
