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!

Hooghoudt Bessen Genever 1L 20%

Hooghoudt Bessen Genever, 1 L, 20% Hooghoudt - a family business with tradition! The production of liqueurs and spirits has a long tradition in the Netherlands. World-famous brands such as Bols, de Kuyper and Ketel 1 have their origins in our neighboring country. The Hooghoudt company, founded in 1888, fits seamlessly into the long line of traditional companies. The company was founded as a liqueur and spirits manufacturer by the married couple Grietje and Jan Hooghoudt in what is now the center of Groningen. In the beginning, the two experimented with extracts of various herbs and spices on the basis of current scientific publications at the time. The aim was to transfer as many aromas and active ingredients as possible from the raw materials into the finished liqueur. The Hooghoudt family's success proved them right, and due to the high demand for the high-quality products, the production facilities had to be expanded for the first time in 1914. Just a few years later, in 1920, the company distilled its first own genever, Hooghoudt Oude Klare, and was thus able to become independent of external producers. Six years later, the second generation, son Ludolf Hooghoudt, joined the family business. He developed various lemonade syrups that are still very popular today. With Bert Hooghoudt, the fourth generation of the Hooghoudt family is now at the helm and directs the company's fortunes. Under his leadership, the portfolio was expanded to include many new and innovative products and the design of the products was completely overhauled, so that Hooghoudt appeals to younger and older customers with its diverse products. The Hooghoudt Bessen Genever Bessen Genever is a traditional Dutch product that is also becoming increasingly popular in Germany. It is a mixture of genever and extracts from fresh fruit. The Hooghoudt Bessen Genever mainly uses black and red currants, which also significantly shape the aroma of the Bessen Genever. The Hooghoudt Bessen Genever is best enjoyed neat or mixed with Prosecco!

Hooghoudt Dubbele Graanjenever, 1 L, 35%

Hooghoudt - A family business since 1888 The history of the Hooghoudt family business goes back to 1888. At that time, the married couple Grietje and Jan Hooghoudt opened a small liqueur and spirits factory in what is now the center of Groningen. They made use of the scientific knowledge of the time and produced a wide variety of schnapps and liqueurs based on the latest research results. Always with the aim of retaining as many flavors and active ingredients from the raw materials as possible in the finished product. Due to the high quality and excellent taste of Hooghoudt's products, demand rose quickly and the previous production space was no longer sufficient. In 1914, the factory premises were finally expanded and modernized. The company's next milestone followed in 1920, because in that year Grietje Hooghoudt distilled the company's first own genever, the Oude Klare. In 1926 the second generation of Hooghoudts joined the company and successfully continued the family business. Under the leadership of son Ludolf Hooghoudt, lemonade syrups were successfully introduced, which are still very popular today. Since 1994 the fourth generation of the Hooghoudt family has been responsible for the fortunes of the family business.Under the leadership of Bert Hooghoudt the company's internal and external presentation was completely overhauled and the diverse portfolio now appeals to young and more mature customers. The Hooghoudt Dubbele Graanjenever The Hooghoudt Dubbele Graanjenever is one of the absolute classics in the Hooghoudt portfolio. The basis is the best Dutch rye and grain. After this has been processed into the famous Moutwijn (toll wine), it is double distilled with the addition of juniper and other ingredients such as wormwood, fruit peel and orange peel. To round off the taste, the Hooghoudt Dubbele Graanjenever is then briefly stored in oak barrels. The result is a very pure and complex genever with aromas of juniper, pepper and citrus fruits. If you don't want to drink the Dubbele Graanjenever neat, you can also enjoy it in a tasty combination with orange juice.

Hooghoudt Oude Graanjenever 0,7L 38%

Hooghoudt Oude Graanjenever 0.7L 38% Hooghoudt's Oude Graanjenever is full of character. Based on a pre-war recipe and craftsmanship, this classic uses rich malt wine that is aged for 17 years in Andalusian oak sherry casks. The result is a genever of depth and fullness. The idea that old genever is aged longer in barrels than young genever is a common misconception. The difference arose during World War II, when less malt wine was distilled due to a shortage of grain. This gave rise to a new, less malty recipe that was called "young". The older variant therefore automatically became the "old" genever. Vanilla, with its refined and sensual aroma, gives the Hooghoudt Oude Graanjenever 0.7L 38% an irresistible touch of luxury. The juniper berry, picked by hand, contributes to the characteristic taste: fresh, bitter and slightly spicy. Lemons give the Hooghoudt Oude Graanjenever freshness and flavor, with their bright golden color and characteristic sour taste.

Zuidam Jonge Graan Jenever, 1 L, 35%

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!

Zuidam Korenwijn 5 Jaar vatgelagerd, 0,5L 38%

Zuidam Korenwijn 5 Jaar vatgelagerd, 0.5L 38% The story of Zuidam It was in 1975 when the Dutchman Fred van Zuidam decided to found a small spirits factory. His clear philosophy behind it: to produce the highest quality distillates from the best basic ingredients! Even if this idea sounds simple at first, the implementation is very complex. After a long planning and concept phase, Fred van Zuidam finally built his factory on an area of just 300 m², which initially consisted of a copper pot still and a manageable bottling line. As with many newly founded companies, the first few years at Zuidam were a bit difficult, but the hard work paid off and just ten years later, Zuidam Distillers was one of the best known spirits companies in the Netherlands. The founder's wife, Helene van Zuidam, was also heavily involved in this. The designs she created and the use of her own bottle shape ensure Zuidam's special look, which is a unique selling point in the industry. Due to increasing demand, the production line was expanded in 1989 and a hall was added, so that production could now take up 600 m². Fred and Helene van Zuidam have now handed the company over to their two sons Patrick and Gilbert, and the production area has been expanded to 3600 m². While Patrick van Zuidam takes care of the processes within the distillery, his brother Gilbert is responsible for marketing and communications. The two sons are also committed to the principle of supplying customers with the best possible distillate! Zuidam Korenwijn 5 Jaar vatgelagerd This Zuidam Korenwijn Single Barrel, which has been stored in oak barrels for five years, is undoubtedly an extremely high-quality distillate. Korenwijn is a classic Dutch spirit that resembles the 18th century genever style and, like it, is considered the forerunner of gin. This barrel-aged variant impresses with a fine sweetness and notes of chocolate, vanilla and liquorice. The aftertaste is pleasantly mild and surprisingly long. The Zuidam Korenwijn 5 Jaar vatgelagerd is very suitable for authentically mixing gin-based cocktail creations from the 19th century.

Zuidam Zeer Oude Genever, 1 L, 38%

Zuidam Oude Genever 1.0L 38% Best ingredients The master distillers of Zuidam still produce their products in the traditional way. All ingredients are 100% natural and only the best quality is used. The exact recipes of the respective spirits were created together by father Fred and son Patrick van Zuidam. The malted barley, rye and corn used for Zuidam's Genever are still milled in the old-fashioned way by Dutch windmills. In addition to its traditional character, the milling process by windmills also has a very practical advantage. The slow rotation of the millstones means that there is virtually no frictional heat that could affect the quality of the respective flour. The production of Genever After grinding, the mashing begins. For this, the ground corn, rye or malted barley is mixed with hot water and the enzymes break down the starch into sugar. This is followed by fermentation, which takes place at a very low temperature, which gives the genever its fruity aromas. After a week of fermentation, the mash is distilled three times by hand in copper pot stills. The company's Korenwijns are even distilled four times. In the small pot stills, the alcohol vapors come into contact with a particularly large copper surface, which reduces the proportion of undesirable substances in the end product. Parts of the fresh distillate are then distilled again with a secret mixture of herbs and spices and filled into barrels together with the fine spirit from the first distillation process. At Zuidam, new barrels made of American white oak and former bourbon whiskey and oloroso sherry barrels are used for barrel storage. By storing the small barrels in a dry barrel warehouse, the spirits from Zuidam mature relatively quickly. A disadvantage of this method is the high evaporation rate ("Angels Share") of 4-5% per year. Very old Genever The Oude Genever from Zuidam has a high proportion of grain Eau de Vie, which gives it an extremely rich and complex taste. In addition to juniper, aromatics include aniseed and licorice root. After some time in the barrel, the Zuidam Zeer Oude Genever has an intense malty aroma with delicate herbal notes and offers a particularly delicate drinking experience.

Zuidam Oude Genever 5 Years, 0,5 L, 38%

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 1 Jahre 1,0L 38%

Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Year 1.0L 38% In the 17th century, the physicist Franciscus Sylvius laid the foundation for a worldwide success story with the creation of the first genever. However, the genever of that time was hardly comparable to today's, and even less so to modern gin. Due to a lack of knowledge and know-how, the raw distillates were harsh, burnt, and rough. Maceration with juniper, in addition to its purported healing properties, also served to improve and round out the flavor of the genever. Old Tom Gin was the next step in its development, but still required added sweetness to appeal to consumers at the time. Only with the invention of the innovative column still process could pure and smooth raw spirits be produced, paving the way for today's dry gin. At Zuidam, we still distill traditional genever, but now with 50 years of experience. This is how Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Year is created, which, after a constant pursuit of perfection, finally finds its way to consumers. Zuidam Oude Genever 1 Year is made from equal parts rye, barley, and corn. After the grains are traditionally milled in windmills, the mash is fermented at a cool 20°C, during which the first alcohol is produced from the sugars. After five days, the resulting beer is distilled three times to obtain a clear yet highly aromatic raw spirit. Following this process in handcrafted copper pot stills, a specially defined blend of spices and herbs is added and redistilled to achieve its unique flavor. The Oude Genever then matures in American white oak barrels, developing its final character. On the nose, it displays clear notes of juniper, combined with vanilla and subtle oak. On the palate, these aromas complement each other with wonderful toffee and the fudge known in England, creating a full, slightly fruity experience that elevates the old genever to modern standards without denying its origins.
