Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

For genever, primary distillates obtained from grains and malt spirit are used, with the main distillate (containing a range of spices) infused in a pot still for several days; the final distillate is blended with malt spirit, grain alcohol and water. Some products (e.g., gin) are produced by assembling multiple botanical distillates in small batches.

Distillation

Use of multiple distillates: a principal distillate produced in a pot still for some products (e.g., genever), blending/assembly of botanical distillates for gin and extracts for liqueurs; small-batch production is also used for some references.

Ageing

For some expressions (e.g., Oude Proever) a maturation period in American oak barrels takes place over several years.

Producer history Wenneker

Wenneker's company history dates back to 16 February 1693. Over the centuries ownership passed to the Wenneker family and later to the Van der Tuijn family (first half of the 20th century). The company moved production from Schiedam to Roosendaal in 1967 and, over time, absorbed other historic businesses in the sector before focusing activity on the Wenneker brand and export.

Production philosophy

Quality- and craft-oriented production with a strong focus on developing cocktail liqueurs and a diversified range of spirits. The company emphasizes family tradition, attention to quality control and participation in international competitions as a measure of product quality.

Territory

Production site in Roosendaal (Netherlands); international distribution (sales in over 50 countries).

Awards and recognitions

Wenneker and some of its products have received multiple international medals (e.g., IWSC, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, The Liqueur Masters); cited award-winning references include Wenneker Triple Sec and Wenneker Oude Proever.
