The history of mixing changed on May 28, 1858 when a gentleman named Erasmus Bond patented a "liquid tonic with added air", now called tonic water. Several years later Mario Groteklaes of the company The Nectar, a great fan of gin and tonic and importer of distillates, thought that he needed a range of high quality tonic waters really able to adapt to the great variety of Gin currently on the market. This is why Erasmus Bond was born.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
