Official website
The story
Production is linked to Zuidam Distillers, a family business founded by Fred van Zuidam in the mid-1970s. Over the years the company has grown while maintaining family management and artisanal methods, expanding its range to genevers, gin, rum, vodka and whisky.
Production philosophy
A 'farm-to-glass' approach using natural raw materials without artificial flavours, colours or additives; emphasis on artisanal processing and small-batch production.
Territory
Baarle‑Nassau, North Brabant province, Netherlands (southern border with Belgium).
Production method
For their genevers they distill the cereal distillate (triple distillation in small pot stills) and perform a partial fourth distillation with botanicals for the aromatic component; distillates are then blended and reduced before any ageing in oak casks.
Distillation
Triple distillation of the cereal distillate in small pot stills; a partial fourth distillation is used to extract botanicals, followed by blending and reduction prior to any ageing.
Ageing
Aging in small oak casks for the aged expressions; range includes aged versions and special barrel finishes.
