Rutte has been distilling genevers, gins and liqueurs since 1872 and today the firm's motto still remains the same: "distilled with passion". They use no artificial flavorings or colorings; all of the flavor and color comes from fresh fruit, herbs and nuts, which is obvious from the products' sublime flavors and aromas! The historical building in the center of Dordrecht has been preserved in its original state. The distillation process is still carried out there and smaller, more specialized orders are still bottled by hand. The family's former living room on the first floor has been converted into a gorgeous tasting room. Now the smallest distillery in the Netherlands is presenting new distillates to the global market. With Rutte Celery Gin, Rutte Old Simon Genever, Rutte Dry Gin, this traditional company is offering bartenders worldwide not only a source of inspiration for new drink creations but also a rich history.

Tasting Note: A harmonious blend of juniper, fresh orange peel and fennel. Hand written notes from master distiller Jan Rutte (Simon?s grandson) dating back to 1930 inspired us to fashion this elegant, dry gin. Our aim was to create an exceptionally smooth dry gin, which makes for a thirst-quenching gin and tonic or a classic cocktail that is effortless, yet complex.
