This is a traditional style Genever with a West Coast twist. Genever is the original gin from Holland produced beginning in the 1600s, and we have a large collection of Genever in the Beavis.bar. This one from 117 West is in the traditional style: pot-distilled from malted grain (barley, wheat and rye). The fresh West Coast twist is the addition of hops along with hibiscus, white sage and cacao nibs. There is a veritable explosion of flavors in the nose, a more traditional taste in the palate with malt and juniper like Old-Genever („Oude“) and a finish with fruit and candy. A great pour.
