Frequently asked questions about gin and genever

Where can I buy gin in Utrecht?

At Daan’s Drinks on the Vismarkt 2, right by the Dom Tower. We stock craft gin from Four Pillars, Drumshanbo and Japan’s Nozawa Onsen, classic London Dry like London No. 3, and Dutch genever and korenwijn from Zuidam. Come in to choose, or order online and collect your order with Click & Collect.

What is the difference between gin and genever?

Genever is the Dutch ancestor of gin. It is made with maltwine, a spirit distilled from grain, which gives it a rounder, maltier taste. Gin is based on a neutral spirit and flavoured mainly with juniper. ‘Jonge’ and ‘oude’ genever refer to the style, not the age: oude genever contains more maltwine.

Which gin is best for a gin and tonic or a Negroni?

For a classic G&T, a London Dry like London No. 3. For a citrusy twist, try Four Pillars Fresh Yuzu Gin, and for a Negroni, Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin.

Do you sell alcohol-free gin?

Yes, for example Leonardi Balsamico Orange and The Stillerys Virgin, both made for mixing with tonic.

Can I taste gin before I buy?

Yes. In the shop, if we have a bottle open, we’re happy to let you taste before you choose, and at our tastings you can try several styles side by side.
