The Bitter Truth Spiced Navy Pink Gin is a German gin with spice at the centre of its character. The name already suggests a more pronounced style: rather than presenting itself as a purely neutral gin, it leans into a strongly spiced profile, with a light touch of sweetness and a modest fruity edge.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of gin we would point out to someone looking for a more expressive, spice-driven bottle. With only the last bottles remaining, it is also worth noting for anyone specifically searching for this The Bitter Truth release.

The Bitter Truth Spiced Navy Pink Gin 50cl is a German gin with a name that immediately sets it apart from a plain classic gin. Spiced, Navy and Pink Gin give the bottle a clearly defined identity, while the available product data does not provide specific botanicals or tasting details to describe it further.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of gin we would place in the more character-led part of the selection: recognisable, visually and stylistically distinctive, and presented in a 50 cl bottle at 40% alcohol. Its appeal lies in that combination of German origin, The Bitter Truth branding and a spiced pink gin positioning.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about gin
What is gin?
Gin is a spirit distilled from neutral alcohol, to which juniper and other botanicals (herbs, spices and fruits) are added. Juniper berry is mandatory: without it, it cannot officially be called gin.
What is the difference between gin and gin?
Although they are related, there is a distinct difference. Jenever is the traditional Dutch/Belgian variety, often malty and fuller in flavour. Gin is lighter, fresher and mostly more focused on herbs and citrus.
What types of gin are there?
- London Dry Gin: the most classic and sleek style, with no added sugars.
- Plymouth Gin: a protected designation of origin, a little softer and earthier.
- Old Tom Gin: slightly sweeter, often used in historic cocktails.
- New Western or Contemporary Gin: more modern style in which juniper is less dominant and other botanicals play the main role.
How strong is gin?
Usually between 37.5% and 47% alcohol, depending on brand and style.
Where does gin originally come from?
Its roots are in the Low Countries, with gin being its forerunner. British soldiers took the idea to England, where gin became a huge hype in the 18th century.
What are botanicals?
These are the herbs, spices and fruits that give gin its flavour. Besides juniper, you often see coriander seed, angelica root, citrus peel, cinnamon, cardamom, lavender and more.
What gin do you use for a gin tonic?
It depends on your taste. A classic London Dry goes well with a neutral tonic, while a more floral gin can shine with a spicy or fruity tonic. Garnish (lemon, cucumber, rosemary, ...) finishes it off.
Which gin is suitable for drinking pure?
More and more premium gins are smooth and complex enough to drink pure or with a little ice. New Western styles and special cask-aged gins are particularly interesting to taste this way.
What is the difference between gin and vodka?
Both are neutral distillates, but with gin, botanicals are co-distilled or added, giving the drink much more flavour and character.
What is pink gin?
This is gin that has a pink colour, usually due to the addition of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, ...). Often also slightly sweeter in taste and popular in refreshing mixed drinks.
How do you use gin in cocktails?
Gin is hugely versatile and can be used for much more than just a gin & tonic. Well-known cocktails include the Negroni, Martini, Tom Collins, French 75 and Aviation.
The spicy base of gin makes it pair well with citrus, bitters and sparkling wine.
