Description
Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin 70cl, 42% is a Dutch gin from Schiedam inspired by the family recipe of Jacobus “Bobby” Alfons. Official brand material explains that Bobby Alfons emigrated from Naku, Ambon, to the Netherlands and became known for infusing Dutch jenever with his Pinang Raci spice blend, which later inspired the creation of Bobby’s Gin. Retail and brand sources confirm the standard bottle as 70cl at 42% ABV.
The style of the gin brings together classic gin structure and Indonesian spice influence, giving it a profile that feels more layered than a routine London dry-style bottle. Official tasting notes describe fresh and cooling citrus, vibrant juniper, herbaceous spice, sweet orange, cloves, cinnamon, floral notes, and a smooth, fresh, peppery finish. The final sentence is an inference based on the official tasting profile and the East-meets-West concept used by the brand.
