Cockney's Gin

Gin description

Cockney's Premium Gin can be traced back to a new recipe elaborated in 1838, which makes it the oldest gin of Belgian origin. Today, with the addition of 15 meticulously selected botanicals, it is revived as a spicy as well as refreshing gin. Cockney's distillery was founded in 1838 by an adventurous gin stoker from London living in Ghent. After his return to England the distillery was taken over by Jules De Brabandere. In the early twenties, however, this man gradually became much more interested in - the among the common people very popular - boxing contests than in gin distilling. That is how the distillery came into the hands of the Hoste family for five generations. In 2001 the distillery was taken over by Luc Waterschoot who brought new dynamism into it. Two years later Luc came into possession of the original recipe and the Cockney's Gin brand name. A meeting in 2013 with Jan Maarten Willems, Tom Heeremans and Roel Corthals resulted in a blueprint. The project took definite shape and the chemistry between the four entrepreneurs did the rest. Cockney's Gin is back, more than ever, and this time never to go away again...cheers!
