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
