'This Genever is a special recipe by Patrick van Zuidam ... this blend [features besides] Juniper and liquorice various other aromatic herbs and spices. This [helps Genever create its] characteristic mild flavour and gentle mouth feel. A very refined genever distilled according to ancient traditions and craftsmanship. A perfect genever to drink as an aperitif.' (http://www.zuidam.eu) Genever is not actually a style of gin but a predecessor. |
