The history of the 209 gin goes back to the year 1870 in New York, when William Scheffler bought the patent for a new still design in California. Determined to undertake the business of making distillates, he registers his distillery, to which he is granted the license number 209, which he proudly paints on the distillery's door. Thanks to a still with an outstanding design and its know-how, William was soon collecting awards from its distillates, highlighting some medals at the Universal Exhibition of 1889 in Paris.

In 1999, a group of gin lovers and entrepreneurs decided to reopen the distillery and baptize their gin Nº 209, Number 209, referring to the license number to make alcohol decades ago.
