De Cort Old Pajotse Genever - Oak Barrel Aged (40%)

This Old Pajotse Genever is 100% malt wine. This means that no neutral grain alcohol is used and it is diluted with 10-15% malt wine, but that it is completely distilled from the raw materials. At de Cort, they went back to the authentic recipe of 1/3 rye, 1/3 barley and 1/3 malted barley, which is still ground on an old stone mill. By combining this with 7 well-balanced and local herbs including iris root and St John's Wort, this becomes a rich and full-bodied genever that links back to how it all started.
After distillation, the genever is aged in oak barrels. This is often a new barrel, but sometimes used bourbon barrels are used. This barrel maturation gives this spirit its beautiful golden yellow colour.
