Zuidam Special 31 - Oude Genever 5YO American Oak (52,3%)

The grain eau de vie (malt wine) is distilled from equal parts Rye, Corn and Malted Barley. The malted barley provides the backbone of the drink. The corn gives it a rich sweetness and the rye characterizes the spicy notes. The new distillate is distilled three times in a small pot still. Then the distillate is partially distilled a fourth time with carefully selected herbs such as juniper, licorice root and anise seed. Finally, the malt wine is combined with the other ingredients for aging in small wooden barrels.
