The Hooghoudt Raw Genever is a Dutch distillate known for its rich history and unique production process. This 70cl genever, from one of the most respected distilleries in the Netherlands, is a product of excellent quality that reflects craftsmanship and tradition in Dutch distillation.
This particular genever is known for its robust and decisive character. The base of this spirit is a blend of cereal malts that is carefully distilled along with a selection of traditional botanicals, such as juniper, from which genever takes its name. The uniqueness of Hooghoudt Raw lies in its triple distillation, which gives it exceptional purity and a rich and complex flavor.
On the nose, Hooghoudt Raw Genever offers cereal nuances and spicy notes, while on the palate it has a smooth texture that balances the warmth of the alcohol with the earthy and slightly sweet notes of the malts. The finish is long and lingering, with an aftertaste that recalls the natural sweetness of malt and the aromaticity of juniper.
This genever is perfect to be enjoyed neat, at room temperature or slightly cooled, to fully appreciate its range of aromas and flavors. It is also an excellent ingredient for more structured cocktails, where its taste profile can really shine and add a level of depth and complexity.
Hooghoudt Raw Genever is an ideal choice for enthusiasts of traditional distillation and those looking for a distinct spirit with personality, encapsulating the essence of Dutch craftsmanship.

The story
Founded in 1888 by Hero Jan Hooghoudt in a cellar on Oosterstraat (Groningen), Hooghoudt has remained for generations a family company specialized in producing jenever and other spirits. Over time it has expanded its range to include aged jenevers, barrel-ageing experiences and projects connected to the Dutch whisky scene. In recent years the brand has developed international commercial partnerships; public sources also report corporate and operational changes following a disposal that led to movements of barrels and stock (reported by the trade press).
Distillation
Distillation of malt wine (moutwijn) and grain distillate fractions; use of copper stills for some distillations and subsequent blending of different fractions and botanical distillates.
Ageing
Maturation in casks (some expressions are aged for years); different types of casks are used for specific references.
