Van Wees | Zeer Oude Genever

Van Wees Zeer Oude Genever is a classic expression of traditional Dutch genever, produced by the historic Van Wees distillery in Amsterdam. Crafted with a high proportion of malt wine, this style represents the richer, fuller end of the genever spectrum, offering depth and softness that predates modern gin. Unlike the aged 10-year expression, this version focuses on fresh distillate character rather than extended wood influence.

On the palate, expect flavours of malted grain, light caramel, subtle juniper and warming spice, with a rounded mouthfeel and gentle sweetness. Traditionally enjoyed neat at room temperature, Van Wees Zeer Oude Genever also appeals to whisky drinkers exploring genever for the first time, thanks to its malty backbone and smooth, balanced finish.
