Netherlands
Gin 1689
This replica gin was based on the original 1689 recipe of the spirit made by the Dutch King William III (AKA William of Orange) after he was proclaimed King of England, Ireland and Scotland that very year.
The recipe, which was amazingly uncovered in the British Library's rare book section, lists the original ingredients but unfortunately, the quantities were concealed by code, which proved unbreakable.
The task of deciding new quantities was given to Herman Jansen in Schiedam, Netherlands, a distillery that dates back to 1777.
Pine-y juniper, a little anise and flickers of rich spice blend among plenty of ripe citrus notes.

Not a well known gin, but really impressed by the quality of the liquid and story behind the brand - supposedly an ancient recipe they used to make it. Must try
Amazing Gin with a fabulous story!!!
