Stirling London Dry Gin is an aromatic spirit with a pronounced juniper and citrus profile. It is recommended to serve with fresh cucumber slices and/or fresh herbs and peppers to enhance its flavors. This gin is produced in the Netherlands by Stirling, a company that continues to uphold traditional distillation methods while embracing new ambitions.
Boomsma Distillery, founded in 1883 by Dirk Boomsma in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, began as a supplier of groceries and distilled beverages to local shops and pubs. Over time, it has evolved into an independent, family-owned distillery, now managed by the fifth generation of the Boomsma family.
The distillery is renowned for its traditional Dutch spirits, including genevers, Beerenburger, and liqueurs, all produced according to age-old recipes. Their portfolio also features international spirits such as Glen Talloch Whisky, Esbjaerg Vodka, and Old Captain Rum.
