Genever Inspired Gin

United States, Maryland

Gin

This genever style Gin is distilled from malted rye, and cane spirit then vapor infused with juniper, angelica root, orris root, cardamom, elderflower, ginger root, persimmon, chicory root, and orange peel. Genever is a dutch-style Gin first appearing in the Netherlands around the 15th or 16th century. The Dutch-Portuguese War in the 1660s gave the English a taste for the spirit. Trying to mimic the style, English distillers removed the malt and added in far more juniper, resulting in gin. That is why most people associate gin with a very piney taste where ours instead has less juniper, less pine and more complexity from the malted grain base.
