Rutte Jonge Graanjenever

General Information

Rutte Young Grain Gin is a classic Dutch young gin, produced by the renowned house of Rutte in Dordrecht, where distillation has been carried out artisanally since 1872.

Unlike old gin, young gin contains less malt wine and more purified grain alcohol, resulting in a light and smooth style. Rutte distinguishes itself by also giving this young variant a complexity of botanicals – including angelica root, coriander, juniper berries, and orange peel. Everything is handcrafted and distilled in small quantities.
