At his bars Spiffy Dapper and Oriental Elixer, he plays with flavours from around Asia, exploring ingredients that are known only in small communities across the region. Instead of brands, his bars are filled with walls full of infusions and potions.Charlie van Eeden - Founder and Brand Director, Tanglin GinHailing from Amsterdam, Charlie travelled the world with his wife before deciding to make Asia home and settling in Singapore. Given his Dutch roots, Charlie has always had an appreciation for gin culture, so it was only a matter of time before he set out to grow Singapore's craft spirit culture by creating Singapore's first gin. Coming from a family of self-starters - including a grandmother who owned her own bar - Charlie has an entreprenurial spirit in his blood.Image courtesy of Tanglin Gin.
