Gooische Bierbrouwerij
Some spirits try to be global from day one. Others stay close to home and build character from there. Regin Gin – Spirit van de Regio (42%) clearly belongs to the second category.
Produced by the Gooische Bierbrouwerij, this gin carries something many craft spirits claim but few genuinely have: a strong regional identity. It is not designed to copy a London Dry template. It is built to reflect its roots.
And that makes it interesting.
A brewery that understands flavour
The Gooische Bierbrouwerij is known primarily for beer, but that background matters. Brewers think in layers. They understand balance, aromatics and structure. Translating that mindset into gin production results in something deliberate rather than experimental.
Regin Gin is not an afterthought product. It feels considered. Built with the same attention to ingredient selection and flavour harmony that defines good craft brewing.
What “Spirit van de Regio” actually means
The name is not marketing decoration. “Spirit van de Regio” suggests pride in local origin. It signals that this gin is tied to a place rather than a trend.
That regional focus often translates into botanical choices that lean fresh, clean and structured rather than overly exotic. Instead of overwhelming complexity, you get clarity.
At 42% ABV, Regin Gin carries enough strength to remain expressive in a cocktail while still being smooth enough to sip neat.
In the glass
Regin Gin presents itself with definition rather than excess.
You can expect:
clear juniper backbone
fresh herbal lift
subtle citrus brightness
balanced dryness
The alcohol strength gives it body without harshness. It performs well in a classic gin and tonic, where the botanicals remain distinct rather than disappearing behind sweetness.
Equally, it works in a Negroni or Martini, where structure matters.
Why this gin stands out
In a market crowded with craft gins, differentiation often comes down to story or packaging. Regin Gin stands out because it feels grounded.
It does not try to reinvent gin. It respects it.
What sets it apart is:
regional authenticity
balanced strength at 42%
craft production background
clarity of flavour
That makes it appealing to drinkers who appreciate precision over gimmicks.
Who should consider Regin Gin
This gin suits:
lovers of clean, classic gin profiles
supporters of regional craft producers
bartenders looking for structure and consistency
drinkers who value identity in a spirit
It is not built to shock. It is built to hold its place.
Final thoughts
Regin Gin – Spirit van de Regio is exactly what its name suggests. A gin with a sense of origin. A spirit shaped by craft rather than trend.
Clear. Structured. Honest.
And sometimes, that is exactly what you want in a glass.
