Palma de Mallorca, 17th of May 2022: Award-winning, Amsterdam-based Gin 1689, launches in Spain through a distribution partnership with ID Creators.
With a strong focus on on-off-trade and yacht catering, ID Creators will be responsible for all sales and marketing activities of 1689 in the Balearic Islands including Ibiza & Mallorca.
Spain is the largest gin market in Europe even surpassing gin loving UK. With many European tourists returning for their summer holidays, Gin 1689, particularly popular among British tourists, due to being “Gin of the Month” in the UK Craft Gin Club; should appeal to tourists and locals alike.

Sharing his news, founder Alexander Janssens of Gin 1689, states “We are excited and proud now be available in Europe’s largest gin market. The yachting catering is a very interesting market and I am proud to say we already have several super yachts with both our gins on board!”
