Sylvius Dutch Dry Gin (70cl , 45%)
Our distillery operates since 1658, and we are the oldest independent distillery in the Netherlands, located in Schiedam. Franciscus de Le Boë Sylvius wasn’t the first person to distill juniper berries, however; he was the first one to register this distillate and coin it “Genevre”. This happened in 1650. A mere 8 years later we started our company in the same town; Leiden. And that’s where the Docter and our distillery meet….
Sylvius Dutch Gin is a spicy, London Dry-style gin with a strong flavor profile featuring caraway, cinnamon, anise, and citrus, complemented by floral and juniper notes. It is described as a complex, botanical-forward spirit that is robust neat but also shines in cocktails like Martinis or Negronis. The gin is traditionally produced with 10 botanicals and is a popular choice for both purists and cocktail enthusiasts.
