Bobby's Dry Gin

A Dutch family's decades in Indonesia left lasting traces, not in their luggage, but in their recipe book. Bobby's Dry Gin is built on spices and techniques the family brought home, where Indonesian spice craft met Dutch distilling skill at Herman Jansen Distillery in Schiedam. Founded in 1777 in what is historically considered the capital of jenever, the distillery gives Bobby's a rare link between two vastly different worlds.

    Item no.: 2222786539-1260

    Bobby was born in Indonesia and emigrated to the Netherlands in the 1950s, but the longing for the flavours of home followed him, and he began adding Indonesian spices to Dutch jenever in his own kitchen.

    Expert's description

    Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin is a Dutch gin distilled in Schiedam and bottled at 42%.

    The gin was launched in 2014 by Bobby's grandson Sebastiaan, who reinterpreted his grandfather's homemade recipe into a modern gin distilled in Schiedam, gin's historic capital.

    Eight botanicals go into the recipe, where traditional ingredients like juniper, coriander seed and fennel meet Indonesian spices such as lemongrass, cubeb pepper and cinnamon.

    Each botanical is distilled separately before being blended together, creating a complex flavour profile where lemongrass's fresh spiciness takes the lead.

About Bobby's Dry Gin

The combination of Asian spices and classic Dutch gin tradition makes Bobby's something of a hybrid in the category, with Bobby's Schiedam Jenever, the brand's newest addition, calling itself a western genever.

History & Background

Both Bobby's Dry Gin and its jenever are distilled by Herman Jansen Distillery in Schiedam, a family-owned Dutch distillery founded in 1777 in the city historically regarded as jenever's capital.

Production & Style

Indonesian spices are joined by juniper and distilled using the Dutch method at Herman Jansen, while Schiedam Jenever is built on a unique blend of traditional malt wine and grain spirit.

Signature Style
