Description
After the winter of desperation when over 20,000 dutch died from starvation and just before the peace treaties were signed, an agreement was made between both sides to allow USA and UK airforces to drop food parcels over the Netherlands without the threat of bombing from the ground. The food that was dropped over Valkenburg where we are based was from the US airforce and they called their mission Operation Chow Hound.
Today the Netherlands, one of the smaller EU countries is now one of the world leaders in food agriculture technology and training. The innovation that they are using results in the country only being second to the USA in exporting food.

Feeling Autumnal and in need of a tipple, I tried Chow Hound with a wedge of lemon and dried juniper berries. It was utterly devine and hit the spot nicely. Would seriously recommend you try this gin!

We have all of the four Driftwood gins and they are all lovely. The Chowhound is my girlfriend’s personal favourite and I also really enjoy a Gin & Tonic with this one. Paired with a citrusy tonic you get a lovely interplay of juniper, citrus fruit and some nice underlying spices, especially cinnamon and nutmeg. Refreshing but also a sipper!
