With the introduction of many new and exotic spices to Denmark by the Danish Indian Company’s ships , Jan de Willum was inspired to create a new version of the traditional genever, which his family had produced at their distillery in Amsterdam.
Today’s Tranquebar Colonial Gin is based on this original recipe from the Jan de Willums’ family archive. in 2018 our Christmas Spiced won a great honour. This time, it was the Gin Guides Awards that named Tranquebar Christmas Spiced Gin as Europe’s best compound gin. A compound gin is a gin with an added flavour such as herbs or berries.
