Genever: The Dutch Liquor With A Unique Drinking Ritual - Tasting Table
Briefly

Genever, a unique spirit, shares a similar mash bill to bourbon and must contain gin's juniper flavor. It combines gin's botanical flavors and unaged whiskey richness.
Genever is less known compared to other spirits due to historical circumstances. Protected by an A.O.C., it can only be legally produced in specific European regions.
Belgium, historically a major genever producer, faced setbacks due to partial Prohibition and World Wars destruction. The Dutch uphold genever's tradition through the drinking ritual called Kopstootje.
