===Geographical indication ===
{{see also  | Geographical indication }}

Some legal classifications ([[Geographical indications and traditional specialities in the European Union|protected denomination of origin]]) define gin as only originating from specific geographical areas without any further restrictions (e.g. [[Plymouth gin]] (PGI now lapsed), [[Jenever|Ostfriesischer Korngenever]], [[borovička|Slovenská borovička]], [[brinjevec|Kraški Brinjevec]], etc.), while other common descriptors refer to classic styles that are culturally recognised, but not legally defined (e.g. [[Old Tom gin]]). [[Sloe gin]] is also worth mentioning, as although technically a gin-based [[liqueur]], it is unique in that the EU spirit drink regulations stipulate the colloquial term "sloe gin" can legally be used without the "liqueur" suffix when certain production criteria are met.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=April 2024 |title=Guidance on Labelling Gin Liqueurs and Spirit Drinks |url=https://www.theginguild.com/guidance-for-members/guidance-on-labelling-gin-liqueurs-and-spirit-drinks/ |access-date=2025-03-09 |website=The Gin Guild |language=en-GB}}</ref>
