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.
Got this bottle for a friend for her bday! We finished the bottle the same night :D I Will definitely re-order and keen to taste the Queen Mary pink edition as well
Most beautiful Gin bottle ever and very tasty Gin! Highly recommended
Perfect gin for a warm summer’s evening. Drinking it neat or on the rocks is the best!
Really nice Gin with a lot of well combined herbs. Love it.
Absolutely love this gin, packs a great punch, stands up with any tonic and super smooth! Sometimes drink this one neat over some ice, but don't tell my husband haha Oh and I recycle their bottles for glasses and lights.
