Zuidam 18-Year-Old Oude Genever 50th Anniversary – 50cl
This special 18-year-old Oude Genever was released to mark the 50th anniversary of Zuidam Distillers. It is a rare and characterful anniversary bottling that combines nearly two decades of maturation with the artisanal nature of traditional Dutch genever.
The extended maturation imparts exceptional depth and smoothness to this Oude Genever. Rich notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and oak are complemented by the spicy character of juniper berries and carefully selected botanicals. The result is an elegant genever with a warm, full-bodied, and mature style.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich and refined, with aromas of dried fruit, vanilla, soft caramel, and mature oak. Underlying these are subtle notes of juniper berries, spices, and grain. The long maturation creates a warm and exceptionally elegant aroma.
Palate
Full-bodied and silky smooth, offering a beautiful balance of sweet, spicy, and oak-aged characteristics. Dried fruit and vanilla are followed by notes of caramel, nuts, spices, and soft oak. The classic genever character remains clearly present but has acquired remarkable depth and refinement thanks to the 18 years of maturation.
Finish
Long, warm, and layered. Soft spices, vanilla, dried fruit, and oak linger pleasantly, with a subtle hint of juniper at the end. An elegant finish that invites the next sip.
