Cubeb Pepper

Cubeb Pepper (Piper cubeba) in gin: peppery, piney, slightly bitter. Found in 5 gins on The Giniverse.

Adds peppery spice with a juniper-like resinous edge.

Grown on Java and Sumatra and nicknamed 'tailed pepper', because the dried berries keep their little stalks. Medieval European cooks ground it into sauces and even candied it.
