Gin 1689, a century-old recipe brought back to life... During the so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689, William of Orange didn't only chase away the British king, but he also introduced a typical Dutch item to the British island. Genever, soon abbreviated to Dutch gin. Gin soon became very popular among the British population. Now, 350 years later, the Amsterdam Craft Gin Company relaunches the authentic recipe from that time. Founder Alexander Janssens studied the archives of the British Library to retrieve the original recipe. It took him almost two years to find it. With help from the master distiller Herman Jansen from Schiedam they developed and revived the century-old recipe that conquered the British island in 1689. The result is Gin 1689, a tribute to the Dutch craftsmanship of over three centuries ago. A beautiful combination of juniper and dried quince and pippin (apple), lemon and orange peel, nutmeg, aniseed and clove. It's as modern as you like!

It begins in 1689 when William III of Orange travels from the Netherlands to London and brings a gin with him. The founders embarked on the same adventure as William III, namely to make the 1689 gin a hit again. After an 18-month search, they found rare books in the British Library containing one of the first gin recipes. All the ingredients were neatly described, but the quantities were given in code. The authors of the book had encrypted the recipe to ensure that only their own members could reproduce it. On their return to the Netherlands, they enlisted the help of one of the oldest and most experienced Dutch distilleries to reproduce the gin using the 1689 list of ingredients and their centuries of expertise. The result was 1689 London Dry Gin.
