Boomsma Genever Oude

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points - An intriguing medley of vanilla, malted barley and botanicals swirl on the nose. The herbaceous notes play backup to the malty sweetness on the palate, but come through as the dominant characteristic in the long, dynamic finish..April/2016

Time is the most important ingredient in J.Boomsma’s Âlde Kapteyn Real Old Geneva. This truly old genever is one of the very few in the Netherlands which is aged in small, oak barrels for more than one year. This allows the fine grain distillates and pure grain and malt wine to develop in peace. After at least one year of ripening, and when the genever is brought up to drinking strength, this tender old genever has to ’marry’ for a further two months. The result is an old genever which is as good as gold and as smooth as silk.
