Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin, which was created in 2014 by the descendants of Indonesian Jacobus Alfons (known as Bobby) in collaboration with renowned jenever producer Herman Jansen, is based on a traditional Indonesian recipe that has been reinterpreted with modern know-how. The gin uniquely combines the diversity of flavors of Indonesia with the craftsmanship of Schiedam, a Dutch city known for its long tradition of spirits production.
The recipe includes a careful selection of botanicals, including cloves, coriander seeds, lemongrass, cubeb pepper, juniper, cinnamon, fennel seeds and rosehip, which provide a complex and balanced flavor profile. Each botanical is distilled individually in order to optimally preserve the characteristic aromas. The individual distillates are then blended with great care to achieve a harmonious balance of spicy, fresh and floral notes.
The use of lemongrass and cubeb pepper gives the gin an exotic freshness, while the cloves and cinnamon provide a pleasant warmth. This combination makes Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin a tribute to the cultural roots of Bobby Alfons and an innovative addition to the world of gin.
