Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Year Peated American Oak 2023 1,0L 38%

Zuidam Oude Genever Peated American Oak 1 Year Special No. 21 1.0L 38% Zuidam The history of the successful Dutch distillery began in 1975 with its foundation by Fred van Zuidam. The desire for a specially created distillate and other exquisite spirits touched the whole family, so they started with a small copper still in a warehouse measuring just 300 square meters and strove for great success. The focus was always on the best quality and locally-sourced products. Today, the range includes not only the country's typical spirit, genever, but also gin, whiskey, various liqueurs and even rum. American Oak Special No. 21 - 1 year barrel-aged The Oude Genever 1 year combines three different types of grain in equal parts: rye, corn and malted barley. The barley strengthens the taste of the genever, whereas the corn provides a certain sweetness in the distillate and the rye adds something spicy and strong. The distinctive aroma is complemented by selected herbs such as anise or licorice and the typical juniper character. After distillation, the wine is stored in American Oak barrels, which in turn gives the genever a slightly smoky aroma.

Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Jahre 1,0L 38% Im 17. Jahrhundert legte der Physiker Franciscus Sylvius mit der Kreation des ersten Genever den Grundstein für eine weltweite Erfolgsgeschichte. Der damalige Genever war jedoch kaum mit dem heutigen vergleichbar, und noch weniger mit modernem Gin. Aufgrund mangelnden Wissens und Know-Hows waren die Rohdestillate damals rau, brandig und kantig. Die Mazeration mit Wacholder diente neben ihren angeblich heilenden Kräften auch dazu, den Geschmack des Genevers zu verbessern und abzurunden. Old Tom Gin war der nächste Entwicklungsschritt, benötigte jedoch immer noch zusätzliche Süße, um den damaligen Konsumenten zu gefallen. Erst mit der Erfindung des innovativen Column-Still-Verfahrens konnten reine und weiche Rohbrände produziert werden, was den Weg für den heutigen Dry Gin ebnete. Bei Zuidam wird dennoch traditioneller Genever destilliert, nun jedoch mit einer reichhaltigen Erfahrung von 50 Jahren. So entsteht der Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Jahr, der nach ständiger Suche nach Perfektion schließlich den Weg zu den Verbrauchern findet. Der Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Jahr wird aus gleichen Teilen Roggen, Gerste und Mais hergestellt. Nach traditionellem Mahlen der Körner in Windmühlen wird die Maische bei kühlen 20 °C fermentiert, wobei der erste Alkohol aus den Zuckern gebildet wird. Nach fünf Tagen wird das entstandene Bier dreimal destilliert, um einen klaren, aber hocharomatischen Rohbrand zu gewinnen. Nach diesem Prozess in handgefertigten Kupfer-Pot-Stills wird eine speziell festgelegte Mischung aus Gewürzen und Kräutern zugegeben und erneut destilliert, um den einzigartigen Geschmack zu erzielen. Der Oude Genever reift dann in amerikanischen Weißeichenfässern und entwickelt seinen finalen Charakter. In der Nase zeigt er klare Noten von Wacholder, kombiniert mit Vanille und dezenter Eiche. Am Gaumen ergänzen sich diese Aromen mit wundervollem Toffee und dem in England bekannten Fudge, was ein volles, leicht fruchtiges Erlebnis schafft, das den alten Genever auf heutige Standards hebt, ohne seine Herkunft zu verleugnen.
