Taste & character

Aroma A rich and enticing bouquet. The notes of malted grain and juniper are immediately recognisable, beautifully complemented by aromas of light spices, a hint of honey, and a subtle fruity touch of citrus and apricot.

Taste The mouthfeel is soft, round, and extremely balanced. On the palate, layers of malt unfold with a striking balance between the spicy extracts and the warm, grainy texture. The 35% alcohol supports the structure beautifully, allowing the complex nuances of the malt wine to resonate harmoniously.

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

Serving tips & combinations

• Temperature: Serve this Old Genever preferably at room temperature to fully appreciate the aromas, or slightly chilled for a fresher experience.

• Glass: Drink it the traditional way in a tulip glass, filled to the rim ('with a head on it').

• Pairing: The ideal partner for a 'kopstootje' (alongside a blonde beer or tripel), aged cheeses, cured meats, or a traditional Dutch shrimp cocktail.

• Characteristic: Based on the original recipe from 1575; packaged in the classic jug.

• Moment: This is the perfect spirit for an authentic drinking moment, as a digestif after a meal or as a base for historical cocktails such as the Holland Gin Cocktail.
