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.

Tanqueray - Ten

Scotland

Started in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray, this English Gin is a classic. Tanqueray Ten is named after the small still, the Tiny Ten. This stil has a capacity of 400 litres, in which the ingredients are cooked for a fourth distillation. In addition to angelica, coriander, juniper berry and lemon, chamomile is an important addition. The chamomile gives the Gin its floral softness. Also the fact that slightly less juniper is used here, makes this Gin a bit softer than the Tanqueray London Dry.

Gabriel Boudier - Saffron Gin

France

Gabriel Boudier has been a small distillery in the Dijon region since 1874. Based on an old colonial recipe of 8 natural botanicals, the Saffron Gin is distilled in small quantities in traditional copper pot stills. The ingredients used are juniper, coriander, lemon, orange peel, angelica seeds, orris and fennel, but of course also saffron, which gives the Gin its beautiful orange colour, making you first think it's a liqueur. Don't be mistaken; this is a very nice full and spicy Gin.
