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.

Delicious and yes, I can definitely taste liquorice.

I got a bottle of this gin from my gin club. Interesting reading other reviews as I tasted it completely differently. It’s lovely and smooth and leaves you with a liquorice taste. My husband wasn’t as keen but I think that it’s delicious.

Lovely gin, flavour really comes through even with a small measure. Pairs perfectly with citrus fruit.

This is a really nice gin. Not tasted one like it, nice spicy after taste, nutmeg and clove, goes well with a slice of orange or lime with a good Indian tonic.

This is a very nice Gin with a strong nose of lemon and orange peel. It is light and easy to drink and comes in a beautiful bottle. But, probably the most fascinating and unique feature of this gin is that it is based on the exact same original recipe that was introduced by King William of Orange into the UK about 330 years ago. It is a sip of pure history..

Just tried this gin and I must say I haven’t tasted any gin like it. Really smooth, interesting taste with a spiced finish. Used it to make my favourite cocktail, a Hanky Panky from the Savoy cocktail book, definitely mind blowing and a one of a kind gin!!

This gin has a great story, tastes excellent and is delivered in a beautiful bottle. Sit firmly in anise, and also let Juniper and citrus come to full reach. Soft on the tongue and in the throat so that this gin is also perfectly straight drinkable. Absolutely recommended!

I tried this gin last summer at the Amsterdam Gin Festival where they had a perfect serve with Double Dutch Indian tonic and bruised strawberry's and raspberry's. It was an AMAZING summer drink and it definitely turned me in to a huge fan of this gin. Great stuff!!!
