Zuidam Rogge Genever 5 Jaar

A premium rye genever that highlights the exceptional craftsmanship and dedication of Zuidam Distillers. This distinctive genever is made from 100% rye, which is distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged for five years in oak barrels. This results in a rich and complex spirit that captures the essence of Dutch heritage with a bold, contemporary twist.

The five-year aging process gives this genever a beautiful amber color and infuses it with deep, layered flavors. On the nose, Zuidam Rogge Genever 5 Jaar offers an enticing bouquet of spicy rye, toasted oak, caramel, and subtle hints of vanilla. The oak barrels enhance the rye’s natural spice, crafting a balanced, sophisticated aroma that sets the stage for a memorable tasting experience.

On the palate, this genever offers a robust profile of peppery spice, rich malt, and sweet grain, accented by dark chocolate and dried fruit. The aging in oak imparts smoothness and a warm, lingering finish that elevates the rye’s inherent boldness. It’s perfect for enjoying neat or on the rocks, but it also serves as an excellent base for premium cocktails, adding depth and character to drinks like a Rye Old Fashioned, a Dutch Manhattan, or a bold Genever Negroni.
