Bobby's
Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin is named after my grandfather, Jacobus Alfons, known to his friends and family as Bob or Bobby. It was his recipe that inspired us. It took us almost two years to make Bobby's, a very fine and balanced distilled gin. Eight botanicals all separately distilled. No additives, sugars or extractions. Simply pure taste. A fresh take on a timeless classic.
The History
1777
Schiedam, the Netherlands. It is here, in the jenever capitol of the world, that Herman Jansen distills his first malt wine gin at Distillery 'De Tweelingh'. This unique spirit, lovingly known as 'Dutch Courage', is shipped to the United Kingdom where over time it evolves to what we now know as London Dry Gin.
1950
Jacobus Alfons, or Bobby to his family and friends,born in Naku, Ambon (Indonesia),migrated to the Netherlands. Bobby loved Dutch Jenever, but missed the taste of home, so he started infusing his jenever with familiar Indonesian spices and herbs. Unknowingly creating his own gin. And laying the foundation for Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin.
2012
Bobby's grandson Sebastiaan discovered an old bottle at his mother's house. Inspired by the story about his grandfather and his unique Indonesian recipe, he went to Schiedam, the city where gin originated. There he met the seventh generation master distiller of Herman Jansen. Together they started working on creating a unique gin, blending the tradition of Schiedam jenever with the best Indonesian botanicals and spices.
2014
After almost two years of distilling, developing and refining, Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin is born.
Tasting
This Gin is something special because of its exotic botanicals, such as coriander, cloves, lemon grass, and cubeb pepper. These unusual ingredients are blended with juniper, orange peel, and rose hip to create a remarkable gin. In the nose, Bobby's Gin presents the unmistakable scent of juniper, with added notes of lemon grass and other exotic spices. On the palate, Bobby's Gin is both refreshing and delicious. The cubeb pepper tickles your tongue, and the orange peel's fruitiness shines through. The lemon grass is not as stronger upon tasting, giving the gin a fresh finish with a clear juniper character.
The bottle
A modern interpretation of a classic jenever bottle. We bring the classic 'kruik' bottle to the 21st century with a strong and modern interpretation of its shape and made in beautiful brown and grey smoked glass.The screen printed Ikat pattern is traditional Indonesian. Through both of these elements we create a unique mixture of east and west.
