Alcohol. 2016;57:29-34. doi:10.1016/j.alcohol.2016.10.006 The transition of grains into a fermented wash and distilled malt wine: Takes place in a place called the “Branderij”. This is a typical Dutch word which does not exist in English, i.e. it is simply translated as “Distillery”. Also the malting process of the grains took place in the “Branderij”, and was not performed by a specialized company as we see in modern times. Botanicals are individually steeped (infused) in neutral grain alcohol for a proprietary time period. The origin of jenever (also spelled genever) is the subject of much debate, but it’s believed the spirit – originally a combination of distilled malt wine and juniper berries – was originally developed for medicinal use in the 16th century somewhere in the Netherlands, where it remains the country’s national drink.

The ‘head’ can only be drunk by leaning towards the glass, to avoid spilling the precious drink. 8. ‘Dutch courage’ Of all the gins out there, none hit the sweet spot between classic gin flavour and moreish complexity quite like No. 3. If you have room for just one gin on your shelf, we’d make it this one.There are many different “jenever cities” in the Netherlands like Schiedam which is perfect for a daytrip, Groningen, Delft, and (of course) Amsterdam. After learning about the history, let’s talk a bit about the taste. What is it like and where do those flavours come from? Since we are better at drinking than investigating on this one, we’ve asked for a little bit of help and teamed up with Damrak Gin! When life gives you lemons (or oranges in this case) make a G&T. Image: Damrak Gin The marketing spiel says this is “gin, just as it should be”, and while marketing spiels are usually guff, this one happens to be spot on. It’s hard to find a gin simultaneously this archetypal – it’s a classic London Dry – this elegant, and this flavourful (the finish goes on and on). Whether you’re a G&T obsessive or martini connoisseur, No. 3 hits the mark every time. Though, for the record: we like it best with a slug of classic Indian tonic. The maltwine is then re-distilled in the “Distilleerderij” (Distillery) in combination with Juniper berries and other botanicals into Genever.

Owned by the same family since 1691, the Nolet Distillery brilliantly combines centuries of family tradition with state-of-the-art technology. Located in the De Nolet tower mill, you can observe the distillation process and bottling plant up-close, with the original coal-fired copper pot fully operational to this day. The Nolet's Silver Gin brings forth a heavenly tingle, with refined aromas of Turkish rose, peach and raspberry. Dutch-based Lucas Bols produces and sells oude genever, known as ginebra in Spanish, in South America. Ketel One is now more known for producing vodka, but started out as, and still is, a jenever distillery. Our distilled Gin is made at Herman Jansen Distillery in Schiedam, the city where Gin originated. The traditional Dutch spices & botanicals are distilled separately in a pot still. The distillated are then blended and brought to 42,5% alcohol by volume; a percentage chosen by our master distiller for the perfect balance or aroma and mouthfeel. A unique gin, blending the tradition of Schiedam genever with the best botanicals and spices.Jenever cities [ edit ] Bottles of jenever for sale in Hasselt, including two in traditional clay bottles
