1689 Dutch Dry Gin

With the Gin 1689 we go on a journey back in time to the origin of the gin wave. William of Orange-Nassau, a Dutchman, ascended the British throne in 1689. He promoted the production of his beloved juniper schnapps called Genever from his old homeland. That was the initial spark for British gin.

In 2016, the founders of Gin 1689 followed the opposite path. During their time in London, they discovered a 350-year-old recipe on how to make gin. After extensive research in the British Library and the study of historical documents, the gin founders turned to the distillery Herman Jansen. The distillery has existed since 1777 in Schiedam, near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and the result is Gin 1689 - a gin that brings together English gin and Dutch genever culture.

Produced by one of Holland's oldest distilleries, the gin is based on a 350-year-old British gin recipe.

The Juniper Emphasized London Dry Gin includes the botanicals that were known at the time. The 1689 gin is well balanced between a strong nose of juniper and fruity tones of quince and apple. These are complemented by the freshness of citrus and a spicy blend of nutmeg, anise and cloves.

This is Gin 1689 - a true modern classic.
