Old Genever is a handcrafted blend of pure maltwine and a distillate of Juniper berries and other botanicals, made according to a secret recipe dating back to 1942. The renowned Herman Jansen Distillery in the Netherlands controls production from grain to bottle. Special proportions of grain are used- Rye (Rogge): provides a strong and a bit harsh flavor. Malted Barley (Gemoute Gerst): Malted barley contains the enzymes critical to the fermentation process. Corn (Mais), introduced in Europe in the 18th century, to smooth out the edges from the rye. The Master Distiller carefully blends the 4 components- Pure maltwine Maltwine re-distilled in a small pot-still loaded with Juniper berries Maltwine re-distilled to reach 75% alc Maltwine re-distilled with a special mixture of botanicals. 38% alc/vol The origin of English Gin is Dutch Genever. In 1650 Franciscus Sylvius, a Dutch doctor, created Dutch Genever as a medicine that was used by soldiers in the Thirty Years War. English troops hailed the spirit for its warming properties and calming effects, thus the phrase, ?Dutch Courage?.
