Zuidam 3 year old ‘Oude’ Genever 38% 50cl

Tasting Note

Cask 1179
Dist: Sept 2012 Btl: Nov 2015
Tasted: March 2016
Sweet barley, malt and American oak aromas are shot through with some lovely dark rye notes. Quite herbal and slightly mentholated with a touch of corn oil and subtle botanicals. With time the oak becomes quite toasted and smoky.

The palate opens with the lightly oiled corn, sweet creamy oak, toasted spices, malt and sweet juniper. Again slightly mentholated on the middle with a sliver of herbal rye. Very well balanced with a long, flavourful finish and lingering mentholated notes.
