Priya Sharma VIPsAllowed — More Genever Than Gin
7/10

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.

Jackson Wu VIPsAllowed — Cultural Fusion Perfected
10/10

Bobby'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.

Derek Chang VIPsAllowed — Fennel Seed Sweetness
8/10

The 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.
