BOBBY’S HISTORY (1777 to 2018)

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 later 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 and settled in Schiedam. Bobby loved Dutch Jenever, but missed the taste of home, so he starting infusing his jenever with familiar Indonesian spices and herbs. Unknowingly creating his own gin. And laying the foundation for Bobby’s Gin.

2012
Bobby’s grandson Sebastiaan discovered an old bottle at his mothers house. Inspired by the story about his grandfather and his unique Indonesian recipe, he went out to find the originator of Gin, the seventh generation 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 Gin Schiedam Dry Gin is born.

2017
The launch of BOBBY’S Jenever. It was jenever that Bobby infused and what evolved into Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin. This led us back to the source and inspired us to create a special grandson cut. Bobby’s Schiedam Jenever.
