Unique location, bespoke Gin.

Some places are too special for ordinary gin.

Bastion Gin is crafted in small batches by The Stillery in Amsterdam, using 9 carefully selected botanicals. But it only finds its home in unique historical locations – forts, fortified cities, UNESCO World Heritage sites.

This isn't a gin you'll find everywhere. It's the gin of a specific place. And that place is extraordinary.

Where to find Bastion Gin

Exclusively at special locations and through special resellers, online and offline.

The gin of this location. Not just any location.

When you taste Bastion Gin at a fort, within fortress walls, at a historical location, the context matters. Those walls, that view, that moment – they turn Bastion from a gin into the taste of where you are.

Unique place, own gin.

Small batch made in Amsterdam. Served grand at unique locations

Amsterdam is where Bastion Gin is born. Small-batch distillation, craftsmanship, precision. But the most beautiful forts and fortified cities of the Netherlands? That's where Bastion lives.

We choose exclusive distribution deliberately. No supermarkets. No everywhere-gin. Only locations that matter. Because if you're available everywhere, you're special nowhere.

Water as an ally. The locations where Bastion Gin is served often form part of the Dutch Water Defence Lines – a unique system where water and Bastions worked together to create an impenetrable defense.

What makes a Bastion special? These ingenious five-pointed star fortifications were the "smart technology" of their era. Born in Renaissance Italy, bastions solved a critical problem: medieval round towers created deadly blind spots where attackers could hide.

Dutch engineers perfected the design, integrating bastions into their water defense network. These water defense lines, including the Stelling van Amsterdam and the New Dutch Water Line, are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Today, they're living monuments where history meets hospitality.

Bastion Gin honors this heritage not with history lessons, but with quality that matches the place.
