Sylvius Gin

Distilled at the Onder de Boompjes Distillery in the Netherlands, the gin draws its inspiration from Justus Walup’s considerable expertise in Genever and malt-wine. The base spirit is wheat, but the overall flavor profile is botanical driven rather than base-driven. Distilled in small batches, less than 800L, the distillery describes it as a “Holland Gin.

Tasting:

Nose: Big, fresh notes of lemon, with juniper and angelica developing soon afterwards.

Palate: Malt, cinnamon and vibrant star anise are the main players here, with a flowery lavender hint and some cheeky liquorice hiding deep within.
