Zuidam Oude Genever 5 Year Old Single Barrel Genever (500ml)

A modern take on traditional Genever, produced from a mash of Malted Barley, Rye and Corn. The mash of these grains are distilled three times in a pot still after a week of fermentation, and finally matured for a 5 year period in American oak casks. The end result is bottled as a single barrel release - a concept typically used in the Scotch and American whisky industry.

Tasting note: [Vat 904 tasted] Brilliant gold. Wonderful opening scents of fresh picked dill, caraway and fennel with further exposure revealing back-seat juniper and accenting the sweet, underlying barrel qualities. Light to medium bodied, buttery mouthfeel; hints of dried herb and black pepper through the muted malty vanilla sweetness. So graceful and delicate as this concludes, lingering with hints of white pepper, vanilla and butter menthol lozenge late in the aftertaste. Deliciously different. A must try in the genre. 38% Alc./Vol.
