Zuidam Jonge Graan Jenever 1.0L 35%

Traditional spirits and liqueurs from the Netherlands

The Zuidam distillery from the small Dutch community of Baarle-Nassau is known far beyond the country's borders for its traditionally produced spirits and liqueurs. All ingredients used in production are 100% natural and processed by hand. Although mainly genever and liqueurs are produced, rum and whiskey also leave the distillery. The recipes for all products are designed together by the founder Fred van Zuidam and his son Patrick. The two men work according to the principle of an artist and see the individual aromas as colors that together must create a harmonious picture. Fred van Zuidam's wife is responsible for the unusual design of the bottles, which is intended to express the character of each product.

The history of the Zuidam distillery

The young Fred van Zuidam once had the vision of founding a small distillery from which only traditionally produced and very exclusive spirits would leave. In 1975 his dream finally became reality and he set up his own small distillery. At that time the entire company premises only covered 300 m² and the first genevers were distilled in a small pot still. This was not to change in the years that followed, when success initially failed to materialize. It was only after a good 10 years that Zuidam's products were finally established on the market and ever since Helene van Zuidam took over the design of the bottles, sales figures have risen steadily. The company premises have now grown to over 3500 m² and production takes place in four copper pot stills. The distillates then mature in a large storage cellar in over 1000 oak barrels. The brothers Gilbert and Patrick van Zuidam are now responsible for the four production lines, but are supported by their parents.

The Jonge Graan Jenever from Zuidam

Zuidam Jonge Graan Jenever is based on a special recipe from Patrick van Zuidam. The mash consists of equal parts corn, rye and barley malt. After fermentation, a triple distillation follows and the very pure distillate is then distilled again with various botanicals, such as juniper and liquorice root. At the end of this very complex process, you get a very characteristic young genever with a mild taste and a gentle mouthfeel. On the nose and palate, Zuidam Jonge Graan Jenever has a delicate aroma of juniper and vanilla. In the fine aftertaste, there are distinctive aromas of bread and liquorice. A highly recommended genever!
