Sylvius Gin - Dutch London Dry with spicy depth
Sylvius Gin is produced in Schiedam by Onder de Boompjes and bears the name of Franciscus Sylvius, an early patent holder for juniper distillates. It combines the traditional art of jenever with a modern London Dry style and is bottled at 45% vol.
Region & Origin
Produced in Schiedam, a historic gin town, the gin is made in small batches from a wheat base and pure water in original copper stills.
Production & craft
The recipe is based on ten natural botanicals - including juniper, coriander, lemon, lavender, angelica, cinnamon, star anise, licorice, caraway and orange peel. The style is not a genever, but a clearly distilled London Dry Gin.
Aromas & character
Fresh citrus notes and juniper dominate, while spices such as star anise and cinnamon as well as depths of licorice, caraway and floral facets round off the taste. The finish is spicy, slightly aniseed-like and long-lasting.
Design & appearance
The matt, dark bottle with the simple Sylvius logo looks elegant and timeless - ideal on the shelf or as an elegant souvenir.
Mixing and drinking recommendation
Pure on ice or as a classic gin & tonic - with lime zest. Also very suitable as a base for Martini, Negroni or spirit-forward cocktails.
Conclusion
Sylvius Gin is an exciting, spicy London Dry with Dutch charm and a clear signature. You can find this special gin at delicando - perfect for connoisseurs and cocktail lovers who like to experiment.
