Flavour & character

Aroma A fresh and enticing bouquet. The light notes of juniper and freshly cut grain are immediately recognisable, beautifully complemented by aromas of citrus and a subtle spicy touch of coriander and angelica.

Flavour The mouthfeel is soft, smooth, and extremely balanced. On the palate, layers of mild grains unfold with a striking balance between the fresh herbs and the silky texture of the malt wine. The alcohol percentage of 35% supports the structure, allowing the pure flavors to resonate harmoniously.

Finish A medium-length, clean finish. The notes of juniper slowly fade away, making way for a clean impression of grains and a refined, dry finish.

Serving tips & combinations

• Temperature: Serve this young genever preferably ice cold, straight from the freezer or refrigerator.

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

• Pairing: Excellent to combine with a 'kopstootje' (alongside a cold beer), Dutch herring, young cheese, or salted nuts.

• Characteristic: Distilled from 100% grain; contains a hint of malt wine for extra character.

• Moment: This is the ideal spirit for happy hour, a traditional tasting, or as the perfect base for a "Dutch & Stormy" cocktail.
