Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin (70cl, 42%)

A dry gin from the Netherlands, combining an 18th-century Dutch genever tradition with Indonesian botanicals. The recipe comes from Bobby Alfons from the 1950s. The bottle is a modern interpretation of the traditional kruik, with an Ikat print inspired by an old Indonesian weaving technique. The nose shows spicy notes of clove and coriander with fresh lemongrass. The palate balances juniper, cubeb pepper and a light sweetness from rosehip. The finish is long-lasting, with subtle heat and fine spice nuances.
