Zuidam 5 Year Zeer Oude Genever
Genever
Zuidam // Netherlands
This genever is made from a malt-wine produced from a triple-distillation of equal parts corn, rye, and malted barley. Part of it is then distilled a fourth time with botanicals including juniper, licorice and aniseed.
These two components are then blended and aged in 200-liter, new American oak barrels for 5 years. These are single-barrel releases and is sold at 38% ABV in Europe, primarily in the Netherlands and Germany.

Tasting Notes
"Very dominant wood aromas, which is to be expected from new oak casks. Vanilla, fudge and wood shavings. There's a whisper of aniseed here as well, while the palate leaves a little more room for the spirit to shine. It has a creamy mouthfeel, and there are some pine needles, as well as coriander. Worth a try if you're into aged grain spirits."
