Taste & character

Aroma A rich, inviting bouquet. You immediately notice soft aromas of malt and freshly baked bread, beautifully framed by bourbon vanilla, light caramel, and a subtle resinous hint of juniper.

Taste The mouthfeel is silky and balanced. On the palate, flavors of honey, toffee, and mild spices unfold. Three years of aging in American oak add a pleasing creaminess that elegantly softens the spicy nuances of rye and barley.

Finish A medium-length, warm, and elegant finish. Malt wine and vanilla linger pleasantly, ending with a subtle touch of oak.

Serving tips & pairings

• Neat: Drink this genever at room temperature from a traditional tulip glass to let the aromas fully come into their own.

• Kopstootje: A fantastic partner for a good pilsner or an artisanal blond beer. The malty notes in both drinks reinforce each other beautifully.

• Pairing: Excellent with aged cheeses, salted herring, or smoked mackerel.

• Moment: Ideal as a digestif after a good dinner, or as a refined quiet moment on a Sunday afternoon.
