Let’s start with some history. In a nutshell, of course. Picture the Golden Age (hint – 17th century)… The Damrak harbour (Amsterdam’s “inner harbour”) is the mooring place for merchant ships of the Dutch East India company arriving from and departing to exotic ports across the globe. Here herbs, fruits and spices are unloaded before being weighed and tested for quality.
Several of those spices historically traded in Damrak harbour are used in our recipe today. Oh, did we mention that our little distillery in the heart of Amsterdam is steps away from the historical Damrak? With our roots going deep in Dutch history, we are proud to be the Amsterdammer among the London boys. Because that’s where it all started.
