In around 1679, Wynand Fockink opened his spirits and liqueur distillery on the Pijlsteeg in the bustling city center of Amsterdam. In those days distilleries usually included a tasting tavern and a shop; Wynand Fockink’s was no exception. Today, three centuries later, Wynand Fockink has continued to specialize in liqueurs and genevers, which are still being made in the distillery.
