Gin 1689

We travel back to the origins of the gin movement with Gin 1689. For in 1689, William of Orange-Nassau, a Dutchman, ascended the British throne. He promoted the production of jenever, his beloved juniper brandy from his old homeland. This was the beginning of British gin.

In 2016, the founders of Gin 1689 embarked on an exciting journey when they discovered a 350-year-old gin-making recipe in London. After extensive research at the British Library and studying old documents, they turned to the Herman Jansen distillery, founded in Schiedam near Rotterdam in 1777. The result is Gin 1689 - a unique mix of English gin and Dutch genever culture.
