Rutte Dutch Dry Gin
From: De Kuyper Royal Distillers
This is a modern advancement of the much awarded Celery Gin. From the very beginning Simon Rutte and his sons experimented with unique botanicals, herbs and spices.
The Dutch Dry has organic botanicals, like cardamom and celery. Some may mistake it with salad celery, but it is a different plant, that adds a distinctive crisp quality to this unique gin.
Also fresh, hand peeled orange zest is distilled, which is unique in the gin world, and all the botanicals are organic.
Rutte has been making gin since before the 1920s. It started with Old Tom gin in 1918. Soon after came Dry Gin; distilled with celery; a botanical that’s been in their genes for over 100 years.
ABV: | 43% |
Palate: | Slight notes of mint, parsley and celery. A little aniseed makes for a spicy and fresh dash and a refreshing gin & tonic |
Serve: | Gin & Tonic |
