Table 1: Aroma-active compounds identified in distillates obtained from two different Bavarian gins, The King Gin Kini and Gspusi, and present with flavor dilution (FD) factors \(\geq\)4 in at least one of the gins. Compounds are listed in order of decreasing FD factor in relation to their presence primarily in Kini, then Gspusi. in Gspusi). Further _citrus-like_ impressions are associated with the aldehyde nonanal (also _soappy_), which was present in both gins at the same FD (512), and an unidentified odorant (also described as _green_) with an RI 1390 on the DB-FFAP column that was similarly present at FD 512 in Gspusi but only at FD 8 in Kini.
