Tasting Notes
"The spirit’s nose speaks clearly of the malted barley base and has plenty of grain elements such as baked bread and toasted seed. Unfortunately these authentic Genever elements edge out most of the botanicals and leave juniper all but undetectable. The rich palate has great integration of alcohol and a pleasant rounded character that benefits from a presence of candied anise and a zesty finish with a hint of white pepper spice. Very easy to enjoy on it’s own, but the lack of botanical depth makes it difficult to recommend for classic cocktails."
