Zuidam Korenwijn 7 Year Old Genever Pedro Ximenez Cask #19 1000ml

A seven-year-old Korenwijn Genever from Zuidam, matured in a single Pedro Ximenez sherry cask and bottled in October 2019. A grain derived spirit, distilled from equal parts corn, rye and malted barley. The corn brings a rich sweetness, the rye spiciness and the malted barley provides the backbone. The resulting very fruity new spirit is four times distilled in a small pot still. Then, it is partially distilled with selected botanicals, juniper, Licorice and aniseed. Finally, the spirit and the botanical distillate are blended and reduced to 45% abv before ageing in Oak. Nose: Rich and balanced and on the foreground notes of chocolate and oranges. This is closely followed by honey and lemon. Palate: Rich and mouth coating. Oranges and the rich flavors that you would expect with a PX cask, honey, licorice, sultanas and chocolate. Finish: Very long with fine chocolate and oranges
