About this bottle

Sebastiaan created Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin in homage to his grandfather, Bobby, who made his own gin. Bobby, who was born in Indonesia, relocated to the Netherlands in the 1950s. He missed the flavors of his native land and began adding Indonesian spices to Dutch jenever to produce his own gin. Sebastiaan visited the Netherlands in 2012 and met with Herman Jansen's master distiller. They collaborated to recreate Bobby's gin formula, incorporating Indonesian ingredients like cubeb pepper, lemongrass, cloves, cinnamon, and coriander.

Donna Sims 4.5

N: Cinnamon, citrus, spice, a touch of juniper, very diverse, though cinnamon is almost too dominant. T: Citrus, juniper, just a little cinnamon, pepper, pronounced but refined, alcohol level is just right. F: Medium to long, citrus, pepper, gentle juniper. B: Excellently balanced, flavorfully pronounced, layered, with the alcohol well-hidden.

Fantastic suggestions for drinks! This spirit, mixed with Double Dutch skinny tonic, orange slices, and cloves, creates a festive and refreshing experience.

Relatively heavy, with many spices after the initial lemongrass sensation.
