Gin 1689

The Dutch Gin 1689 is based on the original gin recipe from 1689, made by William III himself (also known as William of Orange) after he was proclaimed King of England, Ireland and Scotland.

The recipe, found after two years of intensive research by Alexander Janssens in the rare books section of the British Library, contains only a list of original ingredients (you can see below), but does not contain quantities. The task of deciding on new quantities was given to the Dutch distillery Herman Jansen, which has been operating since 1777. And so together they revived the recipe that conquered the British island in 1689.

Aroma and taste: juniper, anise, rich spices mixed with lots of citrus, nutmeg, cloves, dried doula
