Rutte Dutch Dry Gin
With a long history, the Rutte distillery has been distilling in Dordrecht since 1872. They pass recipes from generation to generation, and whilst the Rutte family hasn't owned the distillery since the 1990's, its still their processes and recipes which inspire the current distillers.
For their gin they use pure grain alcohol, and 100% natural ingredients - nothing artificial. Juniper, orange zest, coriander, angelica, cardamom, and - interestingly - celery leaves. However it is not the same as salad celery, but rather a different plant. These give the gin a unique flavour which doesn't overpower - rather lingering perfectly in the background - with the Celery leaves adding a distinctive crisp quality to this unique gin.
On the nose this has a traditional and classic aroma to it. Juniper comes through, joined with coriander and angelica which give an earthy herbaceousness.
On the palate is where this gin comes alive. Green vegetal notes come to the fore, with juniper shining through. Citrus and coriander come forward during the mid palate and the celery leaves begin to make themselves know, giving a unique freshness. The finish is warm, with a touch of pepper and the juniper lingering to the end.

Perfect Serve
This works very well in a classic gin & tonic, and we liked it with a little sweetness from Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic. Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150ml of the tonic and stir gently, Garnish with a few juniper berries and if available, some celery leaves.
