Tasting Notes
"Fragrant with a rich malty nose and underlying piney juniper and nutty aroma. The botanicals lean more savory than sweet though the taste is moderately sweet on your tongue initially. This is soon taken over with the earthy and nutty profile. The flavor of Wasa Multi-Grain Crispbread comes to mind. The finish is ever so slightly sweet with a cinnamon finish. Serve Rutte Old Simon Genever neat with a plate of charcuterie."
