help Zuidam Dutch Courage Dry Gin FAQ
How is Zuidam Dutch Courage Dry Gin produced?
Zuidam distills botanicals separately before blending the distillates, allowing each ingredient to contribute a controlled flavor. The family-owned Zuidam Distillers operates in Baarle-Nassau in the Netherlands.
Which botanicals are in Dutch Courage Dry Gin?
Its botanical recipe is centered on juniper with citrus and spices such as coriander, angelica, licorice, cardamom, vanilla, and orange or lemon peel. Kummel and gentian are not normally presented as the defining botanicals of the standard Dry Gin.
What is the difference between Dutch Courage Dry Gin and Old Tom Gin?
The Dry Gin is the cleaner, drier expression intended for drinks such as a Martini or gin and tonic. Zuidam's Old Tom style is richer and sweeter, reflecting the historical category positioned between genever and London dry gin.
Is Dutch Courage the same thing as Dutch genever?
No, Dutch Courage Dry Gin is a modern gin, while genever traditionally includes a malt-wine component that creates a grainier, whisky-adjacent character. Zuidam produces both categories, so similarly Dutch branding does not make the liquids interchangeable.
