de Borgen - Old Style Genever
de Borgen Description
Our Old-Style Genever echoes the more refined distillation process of the 17th and 18th centuries. With the classic taste of malt spirit, heavy on juniper berries and light on botanicals, this genever has a strong yet smooth flavor, making for a refined taste that’s as popular now as it was 300 years ago.
To create a drink that’s as accessible as it is sophisticated, we balance malt spirit that’s been matured in oak for 17 years, juniper berry distillate that's been triple-distilled in copper, grain alcohol and unaged malt spirit. This beautifully silky combination is a product of patience and craftsmanship.
Nose: Subtle richness of wood, aniseed and warm spices.
Taste: Smooth and undoubtedly rich graininess, along with hints of juniper berry, warm spices and soft woody notes.
Finish: Elegant and pleasant, with woody tones and lingering spices.

Give this pale gold spirit a couple of minutes to open in the glass. The reward is a gentle almond aroma and mild vanilla sweetness on the palate, rounding to dusty, earthy coriander and a ginger-spiked finish. Made with a portion of genever aged in oak up to 17 years. KARA NEWMAN
