Oude Genever from Wynand Fockink represents the traditional Dutch grain spirit style that predates modern gin. The term “Oude” refers to the classic production method and recipe rather than aging, emphasizing a higher proportion of malt wine distillate balanced with botanicals.

This results in a fuller, grain-forward profile compared to contemporary dry gin. On the nose, it reveals warm malted cereal notes with subtle juniper and light earthy botanical nuances.

The palate is rounded and smooth, with a distinct malty body that gradually transitions into restrained juniper freshness. The finish is soft and gently warming, without sharp dryness, often leaving a mild sweet grain impression.

Oude Genever is traditionally enjoyed neat and slightly chilled, allowing its grain character to remain central. It reflects the historical Dutch distilling style in which balance between malt wine depth and botanical structure defines the spirit’s identity.
