Aroma: Multilayered and soft on the nose – incredibly fragrant with lemongrass and rosehips bursting on the nose in an intoxicatingly exotic mix.

Description:

Dutch courage mixed with Indonesian spice is the best description for Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin. Jacobus Alfons, or Bobby to his family and friends, was born in Naku, Ambon (Indonesia), migrated to the Netherlands and settled in Schiedam. Bobby loved Dutch Genever but in his search for flavours reminiscent of home, he started infusing his Genever with familiar Indonesian spices and herbs.

Fast forward 50 years and Bobby's grandson found a bottle of old gin in the wardrobe and was so impressed he set about recreating it for the modern market. He teamed up with the world reknowned Herman Jansen Distillery and after 2 years of trials and testing, they finally had the gin they were looking for.

Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin uses traditional organic Indonesian botanicals and spices such as lemongrass, cloves, coriander, cubeb pepper and cinnamon and marries them with traditional Dutch botanicals such as juniper, fennel and rose hips creating a wonderfuly balanced gin - the best of east and west.
