This Old Genever is a softly malted spirit and a cracking introduction to this Dutch category with a super interesting history (did you know Genever is the mother of Gin?!). A pale gold colour, the nose sets you off with spicy, light malty aromas with hints of juniper, anise, citrus peel, cloves, cinnamon and orange flowers.

This Old Genever is a softly malted spirit and a cracking introduction to this Dutch category with a super interesting history (did you know Genever is the mother of Gin?!). A pale gold colour, the nose sets you off with spicy, light malty aromas with hints of juniper, anise, citrus peel, cloves, cinnamon and orange flowers. These aromas are reflected on the palate which is complex, spicy, malty and balanced.
In order to make this curious spirit, By The Duch distill a blend of malt, corn, and rye in a process that is similar to the beginnings of Whisky. Then, in a further distillation, botanicals such as lemon and orange peel, coriander seeds, star-anise, and liquorice are added, so that their flavours delicately infuse with the malted base. More malt wine infused with juniper berries is added and diluted to the perfect balanced spirit.
Despite the Brits failing to recreate Genever and inventing Gin as a result, the aromas in this By The Dutch Old Genever are more reminiscent of whiskey than gin, so refrain from using this to mix a Vesper or a Gin & Tonic! Mix with soda and a slice of lemon to get a feel for these rich and spicy spirit, then try mixing a sour or even a Negroni Sbagliato!.
Born in September 2015, By The Dutch Distillery is young in its years but old in its philosophy. It was established with the goal of broadening international awareness of traditional handcrafted and premium spirits of the Dutch heritage, a tradition of distillation passed from generation to generation, since the Dutch mastered the art of creating beautiful spirits from agricultural produce. Shaped by the first liqueur producers in the world, luxury Dutch spirits possess a quality and richness underpinned by a love for their product, impeccable timing and unparalleled respect for ingredients and flavour. By The Dutch captures this quality alongside a sense of nostalgia that adds beautiful depth to their products – both in the glass and on the bottle. They are the perfect addition to our range of quirky, artisanal and outstanding spirits.
