Zuidam Rogge Genever aged in barrels for 1 year (38%)

This is a more fruity and delicate genever than old genever that was created by the extra distillation of the malt wine. The grain eau de vie (malt wine) is distilled from equal parts Rye, Corn and Malted Barley. The corn gives a rich sweetness, the rye gives spicy notes and the malted barley provides the backbone. The new distillate is distilled four times in a small pot still. Then the distillate is partially distilled a fifth time with carefully selected herbs such as juniper berry, licorice root and aniseed. Finally, the malt wine is combined with the other ingredients and the alcohol percentage is reduced to 45% for the aging in small wooden barrels.
