Strange Donkey

Strange Donkey Gin is a premium Belgian London Dry Gin that proves tradition and creativity can go hand in hand. Crafted with passion, precision and a healthy dose of personality, this exceptional gin has earned a reputation for its vibrant citrus profile and carefully balanced botanical complexity.

The story begins in the village of Vremde, near Antwerp, where five close friends decided to turn their shared passion for great spirits into something extraordinary. What started as a personal project quickly evolved into one of Belgium's most distinctive craft gins.

At the heart of Strange Donkey Gin lies a remarkable blend of 23 natural botanicals, of which 17 are cultivated by the founders themselves. This hands-on approach ensures exceptional quality and gives the gin a truly authentic character.

What makes Strange Donkey Gin particularly unique is its impressive selection of rare citrus fruits sourced from around the world. Exotic ingredients such as Yuzu, Buddha's Hand, Sudachi and Finger Lime create a fresh, vibrant flavour profile unlike traditional London Dry gins. These citrus notes are perfectly complemented by carefully selected botanicals including juniper berries, coriander, lemon verbena and elderflower.

On the nose, Strange Donkey Gin immediately reveals fresh juniper aromas accompanied by lively citrus fragrances. The palate opens with bright, refreshing citrus flavours before evolving into subtle herbal and spicy notes. The finish is elegant, warming and remarkably smooth, inviting another sip.

The brand's memorable name originates from local folklore. According to legend, villagers once allowed a wandering donkey to determine the location of their new church. The stubborn animal eventually sat down in an unexpected place, inspiring a story that has become part of local history. Since the name "Vremde" can be interpreted as "strange", Strange Donkey Gin pays tribute to both the village and its curious donkey.

Perfect for a classic gin and tonic, Strange Donkey Gin pairs beautifully with premium tonic water and citrus garnishes such as pink grapefruit or pomelo. Its fresh and aromatic character also makes it an excellent foundation for contemporary gin cocktails.
