DeBorgen New Style Genever NV 750ml

New trends in flavor and distillation methods in the 19th century made the style of genever cleaner, crisper and more accessible hence the name "new-style". While the proportion of malt spirit dropped, pure grain alcohol became more popular – and it's this neutral backdrop that brings out the flavor of the botanicals. A boundary-pusher of a drink, our genever is inspired by the impact this spirit had on the cocktail world of centuries past (then known as Holland Gin to distinguish it from English gin). With only a hint of malt, our new-style genever is full of copper-distilled botanicals – like the curious orange-apple from the Dutch Antilles, which brings out a unique citric freshness in the spirit. Nose: Rich, fresh aroma of herbs, citrus and juniper berries; floral note from orange blossom and a hint of nutmeg. Taste: Juniper berries mingle with aniseed, citrus and liquorice, complemented by a lingering note of malt. Finish: Surprisingly long finish, soft and freshly tingling
