What did you do before you became the owner of Hermit gin?<\/h4>\n<p>  Sure!<br \/>\nI first studied Hotel and event management at Hogeschool Tio in Utrecht.<br \/>\nDuring this study I discovered a passion for wine and then through an internship I started working at a wine caf\u00e9, where I eventually worked as a sommelier.<br \/>\nI obtained several wine diplomas while working here and also went to New York to study wine here for six months.<br \/>\nAfter completing Hotel and Event Management, I was 21 and actually wanted to learn more.<br \/>\nIt was pretty clear to me that I wanted to do something with wine and\/or events but I wanted to do it in the form of entrepreneurship.<br \/>\nI always knew I wanted to do business, I just didn&#8217;t know what yet!<br \/>\nChina seemed like an interesting market so I started a bachelor&#8217;s degree in China studies at Leiden University.<br \/>\nI found this insanely interesting and started &#8216;Amsterdam Grapes&#8217; alongside my studies.<br \/>\nI wanted to start importing wine from China (a new and not yet saturated market) to Europe and for that I had to speak Mandarin, was my own opinion.<br \/>\nHence this choice.<br \/>\nIn the beginning of Amsterdam Grapes, I bought up wineries and appraised wine cellars.<br \/>\nI sold these wines to high-end restaurants, private collectors or at auctions.<br \/>\nI still have a lot of nice ones from this period myself as well haha.<br \/>\nAfter trying 100 more things with Grapes, we have now evolved into a staffing and event agency.<br \/>\nWe do event decoration, organization and supply high quality staff for high-end hospitality\/fair and event venues as well as set-up staff\/drivers.<br \/>\nBecause we also supply many bartenders and cocktail shakers and do a lot of oysters (oyster girls etc) at our own events, Hermit (because of the purified Eastern Scheldt water) also seemed to me to be a nice bridge to the spirit industry.<br \/>\nMy companies strengthen each other and so I can bring Hermit to events of Grapes and I can use staff of Grapes for activations and events of Hermit.<br \/>\nSo I didn&#8217;t really have any real experience with spirits before this, it seemed like a great challenge and it turned out to be just that.<br \/>\nThat, in a nutshell, is my background!                     <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9777 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1706\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-scaled.jpg 1706w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NinaSlagmolen-HermitGin-sfeerbeeldgarnering31mei2023-3-700x1050.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1706px) 100vw, 1706px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>What attracted you to Hermit Gin in particular that made you decide to buy this brand specifically?<\/h4>\n<p>  Siward and I knew Hermit before it came our way (in this way).<br \/>\nWe had been drinking a Hermit G&amp;T and when we heard through the grapevine that the previous owners were open to selling it, we already had an idea about it (by the looks of the bottle, flavor profile etc).<br \/>\nBecause Siward organized techno events, where of course G&amp;T&#8217;s are also served and because I did and still do a lot of (culinary) events, we thought it would not be a bad idea to have an orienting conversation about where the Hermit brand stood in the market at that time, what the brand stands for and what the potential is.<br \/>\nGin is obviously a category with many suppliers, we were well aware of this.<br \/>\nHowever, Hermit is a brand that stands broad and firm and which has a number of USPs that clearly distinguish it from other gin brands within the same segment.<br \/>\nThe purified sea water, the premium character and appearance, the unique botanicals, the design and the &#8216;artisan&#8217; production method make it a wonderful brand\/product with enormous potential.<br \/>\nBoth at home and abroad.<br \/>\nSiward and I were already looking for our next project and so this chance meeting with Hermit came at just the right time.         <\/p>\n<h4>Can you describe what the Hermit Gin brand stands for?<\/h4>\n<p>  Besides Hermit Gin being a gin brand, we want to move more and more towards a lifestyle brand.<br \/>\nWe stand for an exciting, adventurous and young lifestyle while maintaining a high-end character.<br \/>\nHermit Gin is a premium brand, so when we talk about adventurous and exciting we do not mean rash and naive, but rather we are there for those who dare to break new ground, are not afraid to try new things and those who like to discover things for themselves and dare to go for something!<br \/>\nHermit Gin is often mentioned in the same breath as the sea and I think this description fits both our gin and the sea.<br \/>\nThat is what we want to radiate.<br \/>\nIn addition, the Netherlands has a centuries-long history with the sea.<br \/>\nAs early as the 17th century, the Dutch sailed the oceans to discover the world.<br \/>\nThis inseparable relationship the Netherlands has with the sea has not only proved positive, just look at floods we have had to deal with.<br \/>\nHowever, this has resulted in us being known worldwide as the best engineers when it comes to subduing (sea) water.<br \/>\nFurthermore, much of the Netherlands lives below sea level!<br \/>\nIn short: Hermit Gin and its purified seawater symbolizes the harmonious relationship between the Netherlands and the sea.<br \/>\nFurthermore, with our product we want to bring people together and let them enjoy unique, new flavors together.             <\/p>\n<h4>And why specifically did you get into gin and not whiskey, rum or anything else?<\/h4>\n<p>  This is twofold.<br \/>\nOn the one hand this is because it came our way via via, on the other hand gin is a familiar product to us, it is a stable and well-known category and G&amp;T has been a staple on every menu in every pub or restaurant you step into for years.<br \/>\nEveryone has drunk gin, it enjoys tremendous name recognition and it has already proven that it is not a hype product.<br \/>\nIn addition, there is increasing demand for premium products, so a combination of these two factors resulted in our acquisition of Hermit Gin.     <\/p>\n<h4>Why did you decide to buy an existing brand and not develop\/build a new one?<\/h4>\n<p>  I had never thought of my own gin\/drink brand before Hermit.<br \/>\nMaybe it crossed my mind once but never anything serious or concrete.<br \/>\nSo the fact that Hermit Gin came our way was a huge opportunity.<br \/>\nHermit Gin is available at many fine stores throughout the Netherlands (and abroad) and we are also available at many Gall &amp; Gall&#8217;s.<br \/>\nSo Hermit was already a serious brand.<br \/>\nWe could of course choose to come up with something ourselves, but Hermit Gin is a wonderful brand that has already proven its worth.<br \/>\nIt is now up to us to put our own spin on it and build on it.<br \/>\nAs I said, we&#8217;ll have more on this soon.         <\/p>\n<h4>How do you see the challenges within the category?<\/h4>\n<p>  The enormous growth of the gin category has stagnated, but it has proven to be a stable category and let&#8217;s not forget that outside the Randstad and all the leading European countries the G&amp;T hype is not over yet.<br \/>\nBesides this, gin is still popular, we just have to show more of the quality of our gin because we believe that in the coming years the wheat will be separated from the chaff.<br \/>\nWe are going to make sure we are on the right side then.<br \/>\nWe also have to remember that gin can be used well in many cocktails.<br \/>\nCocktails like Clover Club, <a href=\"https:\/\/mistercocktail.nl\/gin-basil-smash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gin Basil Smash<\/a> and Martini variations are attracting tremendous interest and this is also contributing to the growth of the category.<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s not get blinded by the fact that there are 5 G&amp;Ts on a menu instead of 10, because we only see possibilities.<br \/>\nThen let&#8217;s get on the G&amp;T and cocktail menu.<br \/>\nHow do you ensure that every bar and gin lover in the Netherlands knows you?<br \/>\nWe work with <a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfuldrinks.nl\/\">Wonderful Drinks<\/a> for our distribution.<br \/>\nThey really have a talented and enthusiastic team and are known in the Netherlands for their high-quality products.<br \/>\nWe do a lot of trade shows and events together with the other brands and I think we can only strengthen each other this way.<br \/>\nWe have recently hired a sales manager who will help us professionalize as a company.<br \/>\nThijs Spelberg (before Anker Spirits and Diageo respectively) has a lot of knowledge of the market and a large network.<br \/>\nWe immediately had a good click with Thijs and like us, and many others, he sees the enormous potential of Hermit Gin as a gin and lifestyle brand.<br \/>\nFurthermore, we are expanding our team even more from January 2024.<br \/>\nThere will be two more employees to join our marketing and sales team.<br \/>\nWe are also going to focus a lot on events and collaborations in the coming year.<br \/>\nWe are working on flagship stores throughout the Netherlands and we also want to do regular events at well-known locations in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague.<br \/>\nFurthermore, we are coming Q1 next year with some new, exciting developments!!!                    <div id=\"attachment_9779\" style=\"width: 1717px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9779\" class=\"wp-image-9779 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-scaled.jpeg 1707w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/theartofdrinks.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image00075-2-700x1050.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9779\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hermit Gin goes beautifully with Hermit Gin.<br \/>\nImage credit: Nina Slagmolen<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exactly one year ago, brothers Noah Duijst and Siward de Groot took over the Dutch brand Hermit Gin.
