1689 Authentic Dutch Dry Gin [700ML]

Description

Ever wondered what gin tasted like when William of Orange introduced it to Britain during the Glorious Revolution?

1689 Authentic Dutch Dry Gin brings history to life through a meticulously recreated 17th-century recipe from The Amsterdam Craft Gin Company. Master distiller Herman Jansen decoded the original formula from ‘The Distiller of London’ archives, producing this historically authentic expression at Schiedam’s oldest distillery dating to 1777. Unlike modern premium gins such as Tanqueray No. Ten or The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, this heritage recipe showcases traditional Dutch distilling techniques with eight carefully selected botanicals.
