1689 - Pink Gin

The Netherlands

The 1689 Queen Mary Pink Gin is made after an original gin recipe from 1689 found in the annals of the British Library. It’s named after the wife of King William of Orange and based on a footnote on the old recipe: adding strawberries and raspberries to the distillation of the 1689 Dry Gin makes for a pink-hued spirit with a fantastic fruity taste. This is the original fruit-flavoured gin!

Sir Edmond Gin

The Netherlands

Sir Edmond is a Dutch gin produced by Herman Jansen, a company that traces its heritage all the way back to 1777. Sir Edmond Gin has all the usual botanicals like juniper, angelica and cardamom, but vanilla is a bit of an odd duck. Sir Edmond Gin claims to be the world’s first vanilla-infused gin and won a Master Medal at the 2017 Gin Masters. The perfect service is with cinnamon and an orange slice.

Zuidam - Dutch Courage

The Netherlands

Zuidam, a Dutch family business, founded in 1974, has been making a traditional, 4-step distilled Gin for years. The first is making grain alcohol, then distilling the juniper berries, citrus fruits and herbs separately from each other with alcohol, such as vanilla, liquorice, Iris root and angel root. Together with the sweet orange, lemon and lime, all these ingredients make the Gin a soft earthy and fruity one. In the cocktail or drunk purely; this Gin is sure to give you a little bit of 'Dutch Courage'.

Jinzu Gin

Scotland

Made in Scotland but inspired by Japan, and with an English woman as the driving force. Bartender Dee Davies designed Jinzu Gin for Diageo’s Show Your Spirit in 2013, which went on to win the competition. Jinzu Gin is great and an ultimate example of East meets West. Traditional gin botanicals such as juniper are combined with Eastern inspired flavors such as sake, yuzu and cherry blossom.

1689 - Authentic Dutch Dry Gin

The Netherlands

In 1689 Dutch King William of Orange was proclaimed King of England. He was largely responsible for introducing the British to gin and even went so far as to make his own. The 1689 Authentic Dutch Dry Gin is based on the King’s original recipe, uncovered from the British Library. But while all the ingredients were listed, the quantities were coded. Together with the experienced distillers of Herman Jansen in Schiedam they nonetheless created a delicious gin based on the original ingredients, including red quince, juniper, lemon peel and aniseed.
