Rutte Dry Gin
London Dry 43% ABV
8 March 2026
Superb Botanical Balance
The angelica and orris root give this a gorgeous earthy depth beneath the bright juniper top notes. Cassia bark adds a cinnamon warmth that works beautifully in a classic G&T. One of my favourite Dutch gins.

Exceptional London Dry
Rutte have absolutely nailed this. Every botanical earns its place — the juniper is bold, the coriander sparkles, the cassia adds depth, and the orris root ties it all together. One of the finest London Drys I've tried.

Classic Dutch Craftsmanship
A proper London Dry from Holland with excellent juniper presence backed by warm cassia spice. The coriander adds a lovely citrus-pepper note that keeps things interesting. Really well made at 43%.

Proper Traditional Gin
Love the cassia bark warmth running through this. It gives the classic juniper-coriander-angelica combination a spicy backbone that lifts the whole thing. Cracking gin at a fair price.

Good But Not Exciting
It's a solid London Dry with decent juniper and cassia warmth, but at 43% it doesn't quite have the punch I look for. The coriander and angelica are pleasant enough but nothing here really surprised me.

My Go-To Martini Gin
The combination of orris root earthiness and bright coriander makes Rutte Dry absolutely perfect for a dry Martini. Clean, precise, and beautifully balanced.

Understated and Elegant
Rutte Dry is one of those gins that doesn't shout about itself but delivers every time. Clean juniper, gentle coriander spice, and a smooth orris root finish. Excellent in a Martini.
