For the Genever a combination of pot and column distillation are employed to a rich grain base of rye, corn, and malted barley. This base is married to distillates of juniper and other botanicals currently thought to be classic in gin. Aging in oak adds another dimension of flavor and a beautiful, light golden color.

Tasting Notes

"This is a delicious, textbook example of the Genever category. The aromatics show a great combination of assertive grains, subtle but expertly balanced botanicals, and a delicious touch of toasted wood with a hint of honey graham cracker. The palate is rich and luscious and flavors of citrus play a refreshing foil to the distillate’s sweet grain and oak tones. This is an immensely drinkable spirit to be drunk on its own in a Scotch glass, but intrepid bartenders will have a blast recreating America’s classic, golden age cocktails from yesteryear with this authentic, modern take on a historical gin style."
