More questions
Genever 5Yo 100cl - Zuidam Genever is a Dutch distillate that embodies the centuries-old tradition of genever, the ancestor of modern gin. Produced in the Baarle-Nassau region, this genever is made from a blend of selected cereals, including corn, rye, and barley malt, carefully distilled according to artisanal methods.
The five-year aging in wooden barrels gives this genever a unique complexity: the wood imparts warm notes of vanilla, hazelnut, and a slight smoky touch, harmonizing with the herbal and spicy botanical characteristics typical of genever. On the nose, malt and floral hints emerge, while on the palate it offers a soft and velvety structure, with a persistent and spicy finish, ideal for those seeking an authentic and profound experience.
Recommended to be enjoyed neat or with an ice cube, Genever 5Yo Zuidam pairs magnificently with dishes based on aged cheeses, cold cuts, or as a digestif after a hearty meal.
