Bobby loved Dutch Genever, but missed the taste of home, so he started infusing it with Indonesian spices and herbs, unknowingly creating his own gin and laying down the foundation for Bobby’s Gin. Bobby’s Gin is multilayered and soft on the nose – there is no spiritedness, yet it is incredibly fragrant. Available in a convenient 750ml bottle, Bobby's Gin is the perfect addition to any home bar or a thoughtful gift for gin enthusiasts. It is one of the oldest (since 1777) and best (winner of world class distillery) family owned Distillery Herman Jansen.

Fueled by intuition and a genuine love of flavour, Bobby infused his favourite spirit with traditional spices.

It's delicious, but it's equally beautiful and here, it comes in a gift pack that has a glass tumbler, complete with the hallmark Indonesian-inspired pattern. Traditional Indonesian botanicals and spices – lemongrass, cloves, coriander, cubeb pepper and cinnamon – give Bobby’s a unique flavour profile, while juniper, fennel seeds and rose hips make it a perfectly balanced Schiedam Dry Gin. Highlighting the meeting of Dutch and Indonesian flavours in the spirit, Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin comes in a bottle which harks back to the style of vessel used to hold jenever, with a pattern inspired by Indonesian designs. Embark on a flavor adventure with Bobby's Gin, an exceptional spirit that pays homage to the rich history of Dutch genever and the vibrant spices of the East.

Overall, Bobby’s Gin is a unique and award-winning gin that brings together the flavours of both Dutch and Indonesian traditions, creating a distinctive and flavorful spirit. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle. Note: if the mix is to be kept warm for an extended time the spices should be removed once you are happy with the flavour, otherwise it will become astringent. Inspired by his grandfather’s story he travelled to Schiedam, the city where gin originated and started work on creating a unique gin, blending the tradition of Schiedam Genever with the best Indonesian botanicals and spices. To truly appreciate the craft that goes into each bottle, Sebastiaan suggests trying the gin neat first so you can taste all the botanicals.

The taste experience begins with a burst of invigorating citrus freshness, followed by the vibrant presence of juniper.
