Zuidam Gin & Jenever

Korenwijn, literally 'corn wine' is a very old-style traditional jenever - the early Dutch antecedent of modern gins. Korenwijn must have a minimum of 51% malt wine (a pot-distilled unaged whisky) in its blend, with the remainder being neutral alcohol. This Korenwijn has been aged for 1 year in oak barrels.

A 50cl bottle of 3yo jenever from Dutch distiller Zuidam, made in the old-fashioned zeer oude style.

A 50cl bottle of 5yo jenever from Dutch distiller Zuidam, made in the old-fashioned zeer oude style.

A dry gin from the multi-talented Zuidam distillery in Holland, who also produce a range of liqueurs as well as their own rye, jenever and single malt whisky. Good work, chaps.

A genever from respected Dutch distiller Zuidam, distilled on one of their traditional pot stills in small batches before being aged for a year in oak barrels. This is a very different prospect to English style gins.

A litre bottle of Zuidam's Zeer Oude (very old) Jenever, aged in oak for 5 years. A very different drink to British gin, with a flavoursome base spirit and extra complexity from the oak aging.
