The origins of Bobby’s Gin trace back to the mid-20th century, when Jacobus "Bobby" Alfons, the brand’s namesake, crafted homemade spirits inspired by flavours from Indonesia, where his family had roots. Using herbs, spices, and botanicals from Southeast Asia, Bobby developed a flavour profile that was bold, aromatic, and unlike traditional European gins. Decades later, his grandson revived the recipe with a mission to bring Bobby’s distinctive style to a global audience - transforming a personal family tradition into a modern premium gin brand with cultural depth and authenticity.
A key part of Bobby’s global recognition lies in its striking bottle design, inspired by traditional Indonesian apothecary jars and vintage pharmacy aesthetics. The bold glass, intricate detailing, and colour palette give the brand strong shelf presence and visual appeal.
