Rutte Classic Dry Gin

A harmonious blend of juniper berries and other botanicals infused with citrus.

Distilled with juniper, coriander, angelica, orris root, cassia, bitter orange peel and fennel, all the ingredients Rutte use are sourced fresh and 100% natutal.
This handmade gin is still distilled in the same back room that its founder Simon Rutte used back in 1872.

Nose - Citrus leads the nose, both lemon peel and zesty juniper. Behind that are herbal notes, with flowering rosemary mingling with fresh green leaves and musky jars of dried herbs. Spice sits at the back, pitting nutmeg and crushed juniper against sharper cassia and liquorice notes.
Palate - Spicier than expected, with a burst of cinnamon on the front of the tongue. A core of soft woody spices is surrounded by citrus - lemon zest and bitter pith and sharp, sappy wood notes.
Finish - Soft and warming, with citrus notes building - lemon drizzle cake becomes candied lemons.
Comment - A classic gin, with spice, herbs, citrus and juniper character perfectly balanced on the palate while still giving complexity.
