A bottle with a story from the mining region
Kompel is Limburgish for miner. The brand comes from Maasmechelen and was set up as a tribute to the coal mines of Belgian Limburg, where work went on until the 1980s.
Garden City refers to the garden village of Eisden: the workers' district built around the mine from 1911 onwards on the English model to house the miners and their families.

- The brand in brief
- 2015The Kompel brand begins, with beer.
- MaasmechelenBelgian Limburg.
- 1911The year in which the garden village of Eisden was laid out.
- 40%Alcohol percentage.
Kompel started in 2015 as a beer brand in Maasmechelen, set up by Frederic Fabry and Sandro Di Pietro. The whole brand is built around the mining history of the region: the names of the beers and bottles refer to the shafts, the districts and the work underground.
The gin belongs to a series that the brand calls its nostalgia series. We have not been able to establish with certainty who distils the gin; we therefore only state what is certain.
The garden villages near the Limburg mines are still there. Eisden-Tuinwijk is one of the best-preserved examples and is protected heritage.
Kompel is Limburgish for miner.
What this bottle goes with
A pink gin at 40 percent works well in a long gin and tonic with plenty of ice. It is less suited to a dry Martini.
If you are from the region or know someone with miners in the family, this is above all a bottle to give as a gift.
Call 0570 541 278 or drop in at Brink 2 in Bathmen if you would like to talk it over.
