Taste & character

Aroma A rich, refined bouquet. You immediately notice warm aromas of bourbon vanilla and light caramel, beautifully woven together with freshly baked bread, honey, and a subtle resinous touch of juniper.

Taste The mouthfeel is silky and full. On the palate, layers of toffee, gentle oak tones, and mild spices such as licorice and a pinch of cinnamon unfold. The malt wine provides a firm, grain-driven base that is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the oak.

Finish A long, warming finish. Vanilla and oak linger elegantly, ending with a soft, dry aftertaste that reflects the quality of the casks used.

Serving tips & pairings

• Neat at room temperature: The best way to experience the complexity of the 5-year maturation. Use a tulip glass to give the aromas room to open up.

• Luxury kopstootje: Pair this aged genever with a more complex beer, such as a tripel or a sturdy barley wine.

• Pairing: A fantastic companion to aged cheeses, such as an old crumbly cheese, game dishes, or a dessert with caramelized nuts.

• Moment: This is the ideal sipping genever for a quiet evening by the fireplace or as a luxurious finish to an elaborate dinner.
