View All (7)The warm malty genever base dominates at 42% ABV. The lemongrass and clove are lovely but the overall character is firmly genever rather than gin. If you're expecting a dry gin, this will surprise you — not necessarily in a good way.
18 March 2026Bobby's Schiedam is a masterpiece of cultural fusion. Indonesian lemongrass and cloves meet Dutch malt wine and juniper at 42% ABV. The warm, gently spicy finish with lingering lemongrass and malty sweetness is extraordinary. A spirit that celebrates heritage beautifully.
27 February 2026The fennel seed adds a sweet anise quality that complements the lemongrass and clove beautifully. The warm malt wine base at 42% provides depth. Bobby's is a genuinely unique spirit that bridges two cultures.
