I previously tried the Zuidam 3 Years Old Zeer Oude Genever, in which I found the oak played a dominant role. Too dominant, probably. So if the 3-year-old is already infused with oak, what of the 5-year-old?
A very oak driven example of an Oude Genever, produced by Zuidam Distillers. You know, the people that also give you those wonderful Millstone whiskies...
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.
