This is the bottle I turn to when cocktails call for genever. There are definitely better genevers out there, but this one is reliable and works great in every cocktail that I use it in. The nose features malt and hay, while the palate is heavy on the grain and pepper. There is a touch of sweetness and the juniper makes an appearance but it's definitely more in the background. The finish has decent length, with some earthy notes and a little burn. I think this is better in cocktails than neat, but either way it's solid. It kind of reminds me of a white whiskey but with a touch more character. Neat I would give this a 3/3.25, but its use and value in cocktails boosts this up to a 3.5.
