Jacobus Alfons, or Bobby to his friends, was born in Indonesia but migrated to the Netherlands in 1950. Bobby loved Dutch Genever, but missed the taste of home, so he started infusing it with Indonesian spices and herbs, unknowingly creating his own gin. In 2012 Bobby’s grandson Sebastiaan, inspired by his grandfather’s story, started work on creating a unique gin, blending the tradition of Schiedam Genever with the best Indonesian botanicals and spices and thus created this exceptional gin.
