Taste & character

Aroma A rich, inviting bouquet. You immediately notice soft aromas of malt and fresh bread, interwoven with the resinous scent of juniper. In the background, refined notes of vanilla, light toffee, and a touch of citrus fruit appear.

Taste The mouthfeel is full and remarkably smooth. On the palate, flavors of warm grains, subtle spices, and light oak sweetness unfold. The balance between juniper and malt wine is excellent, while the 38% alcohol gives pleasant structure without becoming sharp.

Finish A medium-length, elegant finish. The malt-wine flavor lingers pleasantly, joined by a soft hint of vanilla and a final touch of spicy botanicals.

Serving tips & pairings

• Classic neat: Serve the genever in a traditional tulip glass. Drink it at room temperature to fully experience the malty aromas, or lightly chilled for a fresher experience.

• Kopstootje: The ideal companion to a good pilsner or an artisanal blond beer.

• Pairing: An excellent partner for Dutch specialties such as herring with onions, smoked eel, or a piece of aged farmhouse cheese.

• Moment: Perfect as a digestif after a meal or as a warming quiet moment on a chilly afternoon.
