THE HISTORY

In 1689, shortly after the Dutch King William III, better known as William of Orange, was proclaimed King of England, Ireland, and Scotland, he made gin, a traditionally Dutch drink, popular with the British people.

At this time, anyone could distill their own alcohol by simply posting a notice in public and waiting a mere ten days.
Soon, of course, the volume sold daily exceeded that of beer and ale.
More than 3 centuries later two Dutch lads undertook the same journey that William of Orange did, traveling from their home town to London: a city that still remains, after all those years, the world’s gin capital. Fascinated by the royal Dutch-Anglo heritage of this spirit, these two lads decided to trace its history back to discover the original 1689 recipe that ignited the craze.
This desire led to an intensive search that lasted over 18 months: one that culminated in the discovery of a secret recipe buried in a dark corner of the Royal British Library's rare book section.

After acquiring the rights of the recipe, they found the perfect partner to help recreate the delicate flavors of the original gin: Herman Jansen, one of Holland's oldest distillers, founded in 1777 and based in the Dutch Gin & Genever capital Schiedam.
The result was Gin 1689 – a gin that fuses English and Dutch culture together, produced by one of Holland’s oldest distillers and based on that same
330-year-old recipe.

 

THE DISTILLERY

Herman Jansen is a family business from Schiedam, The Netherlands that has been producing spirits since 1777. The Dutch Genever distillery has over the years developed into a global company. The Herman Jansen of today is active on a global scale and offers a wide, modern range of spirits, wines and syrups. It is a modern enterprise with the most advanced production facilities at its disposal without losing the special character of a family business.

Mix of traditional Dutch and international brands Herman Jansen brings traditional Dutch spirits onto the market, such as Sonnema and NOTARIS Jeneverspecialiteiten, but also famous international brands, such as Mansion House Whisky, Savoy Club, Tribelle Triple Sec and Delaforce Port. They also provide a number of mixers, such as Berenburg Cola.

Dedicated craftsmanship and sharp business instinct Herman Jansen stands for good quality spirits for a decent price. This is the result of a combination of dedicated craftsmanship, sound knowledge, and sharp business instinct.
Creating the right flavour and knowledge of ingredients and production methods allows them to constantly deliver high quality and to continue to further develop their products.Their expertise and ingenuity have already been the basis for successful, solid cooperation with trade partners for six generations.


THE AUTHENTIC DRY GIN 1689

A recipe dating back from the time where the gin craze started in the United Kingdom. This juniper forward London Dry Gin is produced with the finest ingredients, which in that time, were gathered from all over the world.

With a strong juniper and nutty nose, this gin is well balanced with fruity notes (dried quince and pippin), citrusy sharpness and zestiness (dried orange and lemon peel) and a warm mixture of spices (nutmeg, aniseeds and cloves). A strong well- rounded gin, smooth as can be.

 
 
 

THE QUEEN MARY EDITION

Based on the very same recipe as the Authentic Gin 1689, in historic times they would mix this spirit with bruised strawberries and raspberries, hence creating the world's first pink gin or cocktail.

Reduced in alcoholic strength to 38.5%, this first Dutch Pink Gin has a red fruity nose and blends well with the spiciness of the original gin. A 100% sugar-free pink gin, which is fantastic to drink during the summertime and amazing to use in cocktails.
