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.
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...
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?
