What is genever?
Genever · Dutch
Dutch and Belgian ancestor of gin, made with a malty grain base. Rounder and more whiskey-like than London dry gin.
What it tastes like
Malty and bready, with juniper and herbs on top. Sweeter and softer than modern gin.
Where you’ll see it
Dutch bars as a small chilled shot with a beer, and at cocktail bars in old-style gin drinks.
