Dry Gin (700 ml)

Bobby's Dry Gin originates from Schiedam, the historic Dutch distilling center where grain spirit production has anchored the region's identity since the 17th century. Schiedam's position in the Rhine Delta provides access to soft water and a temperate maritime climate that shaped centuries of spirit-making tradition.

The gin follows a London Dry production model: juniper berries form the dominant botanical scaffold, supported by a secondary tier of botanicals that remain undisclosed in the standard expression. Distillation employs traditional copper pot stills, a hallmark of Schiedam's craft heritage. The spirit is bottled at standard strength without oak aging, allowing the botanical clarity to remain unmediated.

Bobby's distinguishes itself through consistent juniper prominence without the herbal density of Old Tom expressions or the floral drift of contemporary gins. The citrus component—likely from dried peel additions rather than fresh expression—sits in balanced proportion, neither dominating nor receding. This restraint reflects Schiedam's classical distilling philosophy: clarity of base spirit and botanical definition over novelty.

The 700 ml format and accessible price point position this as a working dry gin for both neat service and cocktail application, rather than a collector's expression.
