More information about 1689 Dutch Dry Gin
Gin 1689 takes us on a journey back in time to the origins of the gin wave. This is because 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. This 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 for making gin. After extensive research in the British Library and studying historical documents, the gin founders turned to the Herman Jansen distillery. The result is Gin 1689 - a gin that combines English gin and Dutch jenever culture.
The gin is produced by one of Holland's oldest distilleries, based on a 350-year-old British gin recipe.
The juniper-accented London Dry Gin contains the botanicals that were already known at that time. Gin 1689 is very well balanced between a strong nose of juniper and fruity notes of quince and apple. These are complemented by the freshness of citrus and a spicy blend of nutmeg, aniseed and cloves.
This is Gin 1689 - a true modern classic.
