Veedel Distillers

The idea for our Linden No. 4 Gin came to us during a backpacker vacation in Bundaberg, Australia. We visited the rum distillery there and were so enthusiastic that we bought ourselves a small distillery back in Cologne to develop recipes according to our own ideas. When we realized how good our gin tastes, we founded Veedel Distillers.

Since then, we've perfected our fine and multi-faceted London Dry Gin, which tastes just as great neat as it does in a gin and tonic - and even expanded our product line: Not only have we also added our own rum to our lineup, but we've also created a beautifully spicy Apple Pie liqueur that tastes great as a fine cocktail in the summer, as well as a hot punch in the winter.

D.R. Linden's Journey

When we first tasted our gin, we realized right away: the combination of these botanicals is so magical that this gin must have a backstory! So we let ourselves be guided by chamomile, rose blossom, elderflower, orris root, currants and co. - and came up with the British alchemist Dave Richard Linden, D. R. Linden for short, who, to escape the grief of losing his beloved wife Rose, traveled across Europe and finally landed in Cologne, where, inspired by the fruits, flowers and spices of the cities he lived in, he created the legendary Linden Gin No. 4. The story is so good, it could be true. Or not?
