JSOC has hit the big 5-0, and we’re honouring the history & birthplace of the ‘Father of Gin’. Introducing: New Holland Genever, our tribute to where it all began.
Legend has it, sailors brought Genever to England from Europe, where it became an instant hit. King William of Orange (the original gin-fluencer) wasn't too fond of French brandy and preferred to import booze from his native Dutch homeland, so he gave Genever his royal approval. The rest is gin history.
Let’s toast to 50 editions of JSoc with a gin that pays homage to its roots. Raise your glass—and if you’re feeling Dutch, say it with us: Proost!
