Bokma! A Genever brand that has been around for ages. It's identity is inextricably tied to Friesland, a Dutch region in the northern parts of the country.

Time for a Korenwijn, a very specific subset of Genever. Produced by Bols, and aged for 6 years. Extremely quaffable.

After writing about Filliers last week, I'm shifting my focus to The Netherlands, to take a closer look at Bols, the biggest Genever brand in the world.

You're reading that right. There's a producer out there that's ballsy enough to release a product with a 0 year age statement.

One of the largest producers, it is only fitting that I start my Genever journey with a limited expression from Filliers.

The Filliers 15yo Oude Graanjenever is seriously very good, and should appeal to any whisky drinker. Best of all, it is dirt cheap.

I was pleasantly surprised that graanjenever could taste like this. It is a fairly exclusive one, according to the distillers they are the only ones with stock of jenever of that age.

If you are a whisky drinker, but you'd also like to explore Genever, then this vintage release from Filliers is a great place to start.

Filliers recently completely overhauled their range. I'll be sure to hunt down a few samples when I can. For now we'll have to do with older releases, such as this Filliers 5 Years Oude Graanjenever.

As you don't often encounter a genever of such a respectable age, reviewing the new 17yo and 21yo from Filliers in one post is actually quite decadent.

When genever producer Filliers announced a complete overhaul of their core range, it was equivalent to Macallan introducing the 1824 series, times ten.

Jonge Genever is probably the least interesting category of genever, as most of it is industrially produced, with not a whole lot of flavour. But please bare with me.
