Tranquebar Gin
Tranquebar GinToday’s Tranquebar Colonial Gin is based on an original recipe from the Jan de Willums’ family archive. Just as in the 16th century, Tranquebar Gin is still distilled in Holland, now in the genever capital, Schiedam, where the famous Royal Dirkzwager Distillery was founded in 1879. The flavor of Tranquebar Gin is that of a classic colonial gin, with the warm, full-bodied, soft spicy flavors of juniper, cardamom and cinnamon, combined with a fresh breath of orange and citrus. The recipe also remains the same, and aside from the classic gin herbs of juniper, coriander, orange peel, lemon peel and angelica, Tranquebar Gin contains additional exotic flavors from cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and Darjeeling tea, all from East India. |
