Distillery: Zuidam Distillers BV

A large bottling of this interesting offering from Zuidam. Rogge translates from the Dutch as rye, and this is an entirely rye-based genever, giving it a unique character and profile. The spirit is distilled in small red copper pot stills. 100% rye mashbills are notoriously difficult to manage, so this is an ambitious and impressive offering from the distillery. A portion of this spirit is redistilled with botanicals such as juniper, liquorice root and aniseed. The rye distillate is aged in new American oak barrels for 1 year.

Finish: Lingering finish.

Distillery Information

Zuidam Distillers was founded by Fred van Zuidam in 1975, under the name Baarle International. He had previously taken care of production, purchasing and recipes at De Kuyper in Schiedam for around twenty years before he felt it was time to start his own company. He purchased a piece of land in Baarle Nassau and built his distillery there, motivated by an ambition to create quality Dutch liqueurs with only the use of second-hand boilers, a filling barrel and some tanks.
