The Duke Munich Dry Gin was launched in 2009 by two friends who, over a few Gin and Tonics one evening, decided that there was something missing in the Gin market, so they quit their jobs and started to produce their own.
Made in Germany, The Duke Gin took more than a year in testing and development to reach the final recipe, which today includes juniper, lemon peel, coriander, angelica root, lavender, ginger, orange blossom, and cubeb pepper.
The addition of hop blossoms and malt gives the Gin a unique and distinctive Bavarian character. All 13 botanicals are organic.

Unsatisfied, with the existing products on the market they decided to quit their jobs and went to work establishing their own unique Gin.
