The story
The story originates from the family tradition of Jacobus 'Bobby' Alfons, who emigrated from Naku (Ambon, Indonesia) to the Netherlands and was known for flavoring his jenever with a spice blend called Pinang Raci. His grandsons (Sebastiaan and David) rediscovered the family recipe in 2012 and, working with a distillery in Schiedam, developed the final product: after nearly two years of trials Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin was launched on 12 February 2014. The range was later expanded with Bobby’s Jenever (2016), special editions such as Bobby’s 5 YRS (2019) and the relaunch of the Pinang Raci Spice Blend No.1 (2022).
