Wasn’t sure what to expect from genever as a gin drinker, but was pleasantly surprised. For lack of a better description, the flavor profile is somewhere between an Old Tom style gin and sort of an un-aged whiskey. Not especially dry, though not sweet either, a bit malty with some juniper and more mild fruit and herb notes. Familiar, yet very much in its own category. I’ve read that genever was a precursor to what would later become gin and that history comes through in the overall taste. Very worth trying.
