Handmade from a base of neutral grain and malt wine (made with corn, barley and rye) and a mix of 14 botanicals, including juniper, angelica, bitter orange peel, apricot stones, and coriander leaf, as well as some other, secret botanicals. The gin is named after a historic Dutch sailing vessel whose freight contained exotic spices too daring for the local Genever recipes - but wildly perfect for a VL92 Gin.
Tasting notes
Crisp, citrusy with floral notes and a malty touch.
VL92 XY Gin is made at the Van Toor Distillery in Vlaardingen, born of the quest of two entrepreneurs to find their ultimate gin. Built upon a malt wine foundation, VL92 Gin has its roots in the Dutch Genever tradition. The malt wine gives it its boldness; its complexity derives from the play between botanical elements that finish with the eccentric, citrusy endnote of a most surprising ingredient: coriander leaf.
