Bacardi Martini Australia is now distributing Rutte Gin, as part of the integration of the Dutch family-owned company, De Kuyper Roal Distillers, into its portfolio in 2011. A range of the Holland gins will be available in 2017, including the Rutte Old Simon Genever and Rutte Celery Gin expressions.
Rutte Gin’s heritage resides in the city of Dordrecht near Rotterdamn, Holland. Founded in 1872, the distillery has been crafting its gins using exclusively natural ingredients for almost 150 years. A testament to the quality, Rutte was the only gin finalist in the world’s “Best New Spirit or Cocktail Ingredient” category at the 2016 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards.
Denis Brown, MD Bacardi Martini Australia commented, “We are thrilled to be welcoming Rutte Gins to the family, the fact that both Rutte Celery and Old Simon were finalists at Tales of Cocktail “Best New Spirits” from hundreds of new products is a testament to the quality born from this distillery. Rutte is truly a craft gin, distilled in one of the smallest distilleries in the world.”
Rutte Gins will be available from January 2017 at RRP $99.99 per 700ml bottle.
