Taste & character

Aroma An intense and seductive bouquet. The rich notes of freshly ground grain and malt are immediately recognisable, complemented by aromas of pine-like juniper, a hint of vanilla, and a subtle spicy touch of coriander and liquorice.

Taste The mouthfeel is full, oily, and warming. On the palate, layers of malty sweetness, soft spices, and a striking balance between the powerful body and the refined botanicals unfold. The 38% alcohol provides stable structure where the savoury nuances of the malt wine come beautifully to the forefront.

Finish A medium-length, elegant finish. The notes of grains slowly fade away, making way for a clean impression of mild spices and a refined, round finish.

Serving tips & combinations

• Neat: Traditionally served in an ice-cold tulip glass, filled to the rim (so you have to 'slurp' the first sip).

• Temperature: For maximum flavour experience, serve at room temperature, or slightly chilled for a fresher experience.

• Chaser: The ultimate classic: serve this old genever alongside a good glass of cold pilsner or a strong tripel.

• Pairing: Surprisingly delicious alongside young cheese, smoked eel, or Dutch herring.

• Moment: This is the ideal spirit for a nostalgic happy hour or as a tribute to Dutch heritage during a tasting.
