Why you will find Italian gins here
We keep one of the widest drinks ranges in the Netherlands, in a family business on the Brink in Bathmen. For Italian gins, that means not three or four choices but 21.
Italian gin is made for the aperitivo, and you can tell: bitter notes, citrus and herbs instead of only juniper. We keep them because they give a negroni or a spritz a distinctive twist of its own.
Not sure which one you need? Call 0570 541 278 or email info@bockje.nl. Tell us what you normally drink, and we will work it out together.

Italy has a long tradition of herbal liqueurs (vermouth, amaro, bitter), and that knowledge returns in its gin. Bittering herbs and citrus peel often play a bigger role than the juniper.
Typical botanicals are lemon, bergamot, olive leaf, rosemary, thyme and sage. The result is a gin that tastes more Mediterranean than English.
In a cocktail this works well: a negroni with Italian gin fits seamlessly with the vermouth and the bitter. The style also comes into its own with a neutral tonic and a slice of lemon.
