Zuidam Oude Genever 5 years, 1.0L 38% Traditional Dutch liqueurs and spirits As one of the few spirits producers in the Netherlands, the Zuidam distillery still produces its products in a very traditional way. All ingredients processed by Zuidam are 100% natural and are processed using traditional handcraft. In addition to high-quality genever, the distillery also produces rum, whiskey and liqueurs. All product recipes are developed by the owner Fred van Zuidam and his son Patrick. This family collaboration is a special feature in the spirits industry, where many products are often only developed by specialists in the laboratory. When creating recipes, Fred and Patrick from Zuidam see themselves as artists who work with aromas instead of colors. In addition to the quality of the contents, Zuidam also attaches particular importance to the design of the bottles. These are not run-of-the-mill bottles off the production line, but are intended to express the respective product particularly well. The development of the Zuidam distillery In 1975, Fred van Zuidam founded the Zuidam distillery with a clear vision. His distillery should only produce very exclusive products, which are manufactured in a very traditional way. With just one pot still and a small production line, Zuidam began producing his first spirits on 300 m². However, success was not forthcoming and it took over 10 years before Zuidam had earned a reputation as a producer of the highest quality distillates. However, Zuidam was only able to establish itself on the market when his wife Helene von Zuidam began to take care of the design of the bottles. Nowadays, the two brothers Patrick and Gilbert take care of the production and marketing of the products - under the constant supervision of their parents, of course. The distillery site now includes four copper pot stills, four production lines and over 1000 oak barrels on a good 3600 m². What does Zuidam Oude Genever 5 years taste like Only the very best barrels are selected for this special bottling from Zuidam. The genever stored in them is made from barley, wheat malt and corn. After fermentation and distillation of these basic products, various botanicals such as aniseed, juniper and liquorice root are added for maceration. This is followed by storage in barrels made of the best oak for at least 60 months. On the nose and palate, the genever shows fascinating aromas of malt, oak, vanilla and toffee. The long aftertaste is also very malty and extraordinarily smooth. A great genever!

Zuidam Oude Genever 5 years, 0.5L 38% Classic spirits and liqueurs from the Netherlands The Dutch distillery Zuidam is one of the few spirits producers in the Netherlands that still produces its products in a very traditional and artisanal way. All products used by Zuidam are 100% natural and carefully selected. Another special feature of the distillery is that it is still family-run. All recipes for the products produced there are developed in collaboration by Fred van Zuidam and his son Patrick. They see their products as a kind of painting, which is painted with aromas instead of colors. Zuidam places just as much emphasis on the packaging as on the quality of the products. For this reason, all products will be bottled in a specially designed and attractive designer bottle. The history of Zuidam Destillers The Zuidam distillery was founded in 1975 by Fred van Zuidam. Zuidam's idea was to set up a small distillery that specialises in very exclusive products. He therefore built his distillery on just 300m² with a small copper pot still and a small production line. Zuidam's beginnings were rather slow and it took a good 10 years before its reputation as one of the best distilleries in the country was established. However, the final breakthrough only came after his wife Helene von Zuidam took over the design of the products. The distillery, which has now expanded to 3600m² and 4 pot stills, is now run by the two brothers Patrick and Gilbert, with their parents always keeping a watchful eye on the two. While Patrick looks after the distillery, Gilbert is responsible for sales and marketing. The taste of Zuidam Oude Genever 5 years For this special bottling, the best barrels in the distillery were selected after a storage period of at least 60 months. Before being stored in barrels, the genever was distilled three times in a pot still from the best wheat and barley malt, as well as corn. Various botanicals, such as juniper, liquorice root and aniseed, were then added to the distillate and macerated for some time. The end result of this complex production method is a very special genever, with a rich vanilla and toffee aroma and a silky mouthfeel. One of the best genevers on the market!

Zuidam Oude Genever 3 Jaar vatgelagerd 1,0L 38% The roots The physicist Franciscus Sylvius distilled the first genever in the 17th century, laying the foundation for the spirit that is so famous today. However, the products of that time are by no means comparable to the current heyday of the art of distilling. It is hard to imagine the tastes of the first attempts. It was probably convenient that juniper was said to have healing properties and was added to genever. The strong taste of its own also managed to mask the brandy, rough and rather edgy character of the first distillates. Old Tom Gin set a new milestone in terms of know-how, but it still had to be sweetened to meet the demands of the zeitgeist of the time. It was only with the introduction of the column still process that they came close to the current dry gin and managed to produce soft and round raw spirits. The Renaissance Despite all these new methods, Zuidam is now producing genever again. But they now rely on 50 years of tradition and completely new, more modern know-how in the value chain. With the Zuidam Oude Genever 3 years, the perfection they have found is finally coming to the market and to your home. Zuidam has found the right balance for the raw spirit in three equal parts of grain. Corn, rye and barley are crushed in windmills using a time-honored process and mixed with water to form a mash. After fermentation and the first percentage of alcohol has been extracted, the beer is distilled three times in hand-made copper pot stills and part of it is macerated with a secret blend of spices and herbs for the 4th distillation. The modern fruits The three specific qualities of the individual types of grain give the Zuidam Oude Genever 3 years a full sweetness and the necessary backbone. In terms of taste, it seduces with delicate vanilla combined with strong toffee and, thanks to the three-year storage in partly new and old American white oak barrels, delicate, woody oak notes. A genever that is still kept fresh by the juniper and that perfectly combines the new world with its past.

Wenneker Zeer Oude Korenwijn 0.7L 38% Wenneker The distillery goes to work with a passion for good drinks and a desire to share this with the world. It has been family-owned since it opened in 1693 and sells high-quality liqueurs and spirits that have won many medals. At that time, Hendrick Steeman was granted a license to set up two brandy stills and so the history of the distillery began. In 1812, it was bought by Joannes Wenneker. In 1903, due to a lack of success, his great-grandson Franciscus had to hand it over to Johannes Cornelis van der Tuijn, who thus became the first generation of Van der Tuijns to have the say over the company. Today it is in the fourth generation. With steadily growing success, the Wenneker distillery eventually became too small and they had to expand. As this was not permitted at the Schiedam location, the decision was made to move to Roosendaal, as there are good connections to shipping there, as Roosendaal is located between Rotterdam and Antwerp. In around 230 years, the company has built up a very good reputation on the world market and the distillery's spirits can now be bought in over 50 countries. Wenneker Zeer Oude Korenwijn Like all products from the Wenneker distillery, Korenwijn is made based on original recipes from the 17th century. Korenwijn consists of a combination of malt brandy, grain alcohol and a special distillate of Korenwijn, which consists of a special blend of spices and thus gets its subtle taste. The 3-year maturation phase in selected oak barrels, which hold less than 300 liters of distillate, is also special. As a finish for the Very Old Korenwijn, this mixture is made drinkable from 60% vol. to 38% vol. The opinion of customers has always played a major role at Wenneker and so the taste is tailored to the customers' preferences. In order to achieve a perfect taste experience, only the best rye is used for the base. The botanicals used are the result of years of testing and are subject to the strictest secrecy, but it is clear that juniper must be included.
